Faith-Based Hypocrisy

E.J. Dionne calls the right-wing on its hypocrisy about the importance of a judicial nominee's religious faith. Krauthammer joins the chorus of voices pointing out that mediocrity has no place on the Supreme Court.

I have a suggestion for the Senator Judiciary Committee: Pull out your notes from the Roberts hearing, and ask Harriet Miers the exact same questions about landmark Court decisions and precidents. In fact, tell her in advance that's what you'll be doing. My expectation is that she'll finds some graceful way to get the President to withdraw her nomination and save herself the embarassment of admitting her inexperience in grappling with core constitutional issues.
