But near everyone I’ve talked to this morning feels demoralized (albeit some to differing degrees) with the Miers pick. It could be that there was just too much Priscilla Owen/Janice Rogers Brown talk in the last few weeks. But if Miers doesn’t turn out to be a stealth Scalia type–maybe she will yet– people like Rick Santorum are going to be the most demoralized in the coming months.

Needless to say, judges are a big deal and played no small role in the election last year.

Argh–and Kool and the Gang’s “Misled” just started playing on my itunes.
