strict constructionism?
He's the Pres. nowhere does it say he must pick the "most qualified".
You're serious? You don't think that there's an implied obligation for the President to pick the most qualified people for government positions?
Ah, well now I understand Brownie, and, come to think of it, most of Bush's appointments. Silly Founders, neglecting to write into the Constitution a requirement that the President do the best job possible. Yeah, nobody has any right to expect the President to do a good job...it's not in the Constitution, so why should we?
Thanks for opening my eyes to the real meaning of "strict constructionism", Scott.
