You’ve all heard the expression that the enemy of my friend is also my enemy…What about the friend of my enemy is also my enemy? The way that Harry Reid and some other Dems are reacting to the nomination of Harriet Miers is brilliant…but is it on purpose?
Yesterday Harry Reid said that he knew Harriet Mier and respected her and liked her choice for SCOTUS. This brought criticism from many bloggers…but Reid also said, quite cleverly, “I also was surprised to learn that she had donated $1,000 to the campaign of Al Gore for President” (paraphrase)
It’s not the Dems that are against the nomination of Mier, it’s the conservatives…they want another Scalia. Is Reid consciously trying to drive a wedge between moderate and radical Republicans? Hmmmmmm…..
