It's Just Not Worth It
If this story is true, it would go a long way towards explaining the Miers pick.
Seems that once the White House decided to nominate a woman, several of the women on their short list told the White House that they weren't interested. It seems that being appointed to the Supreme Court isn't enough of a reason for some people to have their name, reputation, character, and judicial philosphy raked across the mud by the NY Times and Ted Kennedy.
But one thing I don't like. If the White House was faced with an ever shrinking list of female candidates, why didn't they scrap the affirmitive action plan and nominate a male?
