President Obama Manages to Nominate Someone Even Less Qualified Than Bush’s Harriet Meyers for U.S. Supreme Court: Pick a Judge, Please

I seem to remember a political firestorm a couple of years ago when then-President George W. Bush nominated Harriet Meyers to the Supreme Court.  And I didn’t disagree when Harriet Meyers decided to withdraw her nomination.  Bush was loudly criticized for being an “idiot” for choosing an “obviously” unqualified person for the U.S. Supreme Court.

Now, President Obama has nominated someone who has never even BEEN a judge, just someone who whitewashed a plagiarism scandal at Harvard University.

So if Bush was an idiot for nominating “unqualified” Meyers, what does that make Obama for nominating non-judge and even-less qualified Kagan?

Looks like it’s back to the drawing board, and pick a judge, please, Mr. President.
