My Theory
As I listened to the litany of issues before the court, it struck me that there is one set of issues this administration is more deeply invested in than any other. That issue is whether the administration's actions with respect to prisoners of war in Afghanistan and Iraq meet constitutional muster in particular.
Could it be that having a Bush loyalist with a voice on the court is more important at this juncture than the agenda? Of course, this doesn't address the issue of when she will be needed to recuse herself.
All else aside, I am not ready to question the woman's credentials as inadequate; she has had positions of great responsibility in both government and the private sector, and could turn out to be a fine jurist.
