The Difference

The Seattle Times explains why it’s acceptable to pick a crony as Attorney General, but not as a Supreme Court Justice:
Miers was apparently chosen under the 100-foot rule: that is, the president saw her every day. That is how Bush chose his vice president, his secretary of state and his attorney general.Those choices may be defensible, because they are identified with him and will leave when he does. Miers, 60, could stay on a third of the way into the century.
Out of 297 million Americans, the president can do better than this.
I never thought I’d be nodding along with the Seattle Times editorial page!!
