Egomaniacs Against Meirs

Why are so many Republicans against Harriet Meirs? "She's not qualified!" Ruth Bader Ginsburg said weeks ago that she would be willing to advise the President of which women were qualified to serve alongside her. (How modest of her!) Professional smart-ass Ann Coulter declared she was more qualified than Meirs. (Of course, she thinks she knows everything about everything.) Others declare her a crony. (see my blog entitled "Sherman Minton") None of these arguments hold water. I say that the main problem with the Supreme Court is a mind boggling egotism, where mere lawyers become gods who create law out of their prejudices and nothing more. Creating laws without details like democratic support has progressed so far that many Americans don't even realize when the Supreme Court has overstepped judicial review and entered the land of autocratic fiat. If someone really stupid was appointed to the Supreme Court, it might make people realize that these posers are only human beings, and don't deserve an unchecked power to describe as unconstitutional everything they don't like. A disaster for judicial activism would be a blessing for democracy.
