Is it tinfoil hat time?
Pesky Mac reveals her trinitarian nature:
My optimistic side thinks perhaps President Bush now realizes he has no political capital, will appoint someone who is a] qualified and b] will rule as a judge should—not by their religious beliefs, but by the Constitution. My pessimistic side laughs at my naivete and thinks President Bush will nominate some out and out scuzzbag arch-conservative fundie with no respect for the Constitution to please the Dobson set, who without doubt are the reason Harriet Miers withdrew in the first place. And my Inner Conspiracy Theorist thinks this was the plan all along, to throw Miers to the wolves as a way of seeming to appease Democrats with Bush’s idea of a moderate, but then having Miers pull out at a politically opportune moment and giving Bush the chance to appoint someone really sleazy, saying it’s the will of the people.
I think I’m gonna have to get the heavy-duty wrap, ’cause I’m thinking ICT is right.
