yeah... zippo! When you have the Luttigs, Alito's, McConnell's, Batchelder's, Owens, Estradas, Browns, Jones's, Maloney's... and the list goes on and on... all waiting on the bench. Instead Bush sent up the bat boy to stand on deck. Thank God the boos from the crowd made him reconsider.

Would you want your podiatrist to do open heart surgery? Would you want to see Stephen Colbert on 60 Minutes? Would you want a railroad engineer to design a skyscraper? Then why would you want a corporate lawyer to do constitutional law?

I am somewhat skeptical of a nominee who has to take a crash course on constitutional law and jurisprudence prior to going before the Senate for her confirmation hearings. In my view, a nominee should have some background in academia or in the judiciary. She did deal with some of these issues as White House Counsel, but not nearly enough.

It's lacking. This has not been the area upon which her practice has focused.
