I hate to say it - but ever since Katrina, rumor is he's been off the wagon and making poor decisions...
I can see him having a few one night and saying "hey baby, - wanna be on the Supreme Court? I can arrange that - hell, my political capital is almost totally spent anyways, let's go out with a bang"
I'm serious - her only real redeeming asset is she's a close friend of the President - that's it - nothing to suggest she's the best person for the job - not even close.
My biggest concern is that liberals think she might be a moderate, so they're being cautious - it's the Right Wingers that this is really making angry - but either way her political viewpoints lean, I don't like the idea of someone's first judgeship being on the Supreme Court - I don't think that's wise.
