I know what they are capable of, what they beleive, and if they can do the job I want for them. Or do I go with unknowns who are recommended to me? I would probably opt to go with those I knew. I think anyone would.

I suspect Harriet Meirs may be the first Supreme Court judge whose main qualification for the post was that she gives good greeting card. What a suck-up.

I've no problem with what you say Scaeagles- to a large degree it's true. The problem is that one is likely to find themselves surrounded by sycophants rather than qualified people.
