Recess Appointment Idiocy

Letter to the Chrisitian Science Monitor:

Dear Editor:

I cannot believe the "Letter to the Editor" in the Oct. 17th edition from Paul Feiner titled Probationary Period For Miers in which he calls for the president to wait and make a temporary recess appointment for Harriet Miers to sit on the Supreme Court. He states that this would be a good way for the Senate and America to evaluate how good or bad a justice she would be. What kind of idiocy is this?

The Supreme Court is the high court of the land and cannot be a place of on the job training which could possibly jeopardize the interpretation of the laws of this country. This isn't a game. Decisions from this court can effect everyone in this country and the damage done by a recess appointment so that "Miers could be placed on probation" would be disasterous. I've read bad ideas before but this one takes the cake.
