Scott Ott of Scrappleface is usually so hilarious in his poignance. Mom's sister, Geraline, was an Ott. I wonder if we are related to Scott.

Here's his take on the Harriet Miers upcoming confirmation hearings.

"(2005-10-11) -- Senate Judiciary Chairman Arlen Specter, R-PA, announced today he will delay confirmation hearings for Supreme Court nominee Harriet Miers until he can locate some Senators who are intellectually qualified to question her on the finer points of Constitutional law.
"Most of us in the Senate used to be lawyers," said Sen. Specter, "and you can't expect a simple ambulance chaser to understand the kind of weighty issues that come before the Supreme Court.""

This deals with her pre-hearing preparation.

"(2005-10-18) -- Supreme Court nominee Harriet Miers, making the rounds among influential Senators yesterday, refused to answer questions about her views on the landmark abortion case, Roe v. Wade (1973), citing her right to privacy as found in the 1965 Griswold v. Connecticut Supreme Court ruling that served as the key precedent for the Roe decision."
