Making Sound Decisions

“They’ve asked for paperwork about the decision-making process, what her recommendations were. That would breach very important confidentiality and it’s a red line I am not willing to cross.” Disclosing that material “would make it impossible for me and other presidents to be able to make sound decisions.” - President George W. Bush (source)

I’m seriously trying to take this seriously, but it is difficult. I understand that the our current President considers the recommendation of Harriet Miers to the U.S. Supreme Court to be a “sound decision”. That’s just very troubling. I also find it equally troubling that he is unable to form complete sentences.

Judge Robert Bork should not have been placed on the court either. His rejection, in my view, was valid. However, Bork did bring scholarship and experience to the table. Not to be unkind, but Miers lacks both.
