15. There is no conflict of interest....

Once appointed to the Supreme Court, one is beholden to no one.

It was your choice of the phrase, "That is her only qualifiction in Bush's eyes. That is the only reason we need to keep her off."

To say that one needs no other reason to keep someone off of the Supreme Court than; 'I don't like them, so I reject who they like', is a little unreasonable and borders on childish.

Now, after hearing how little she knows about constitutional law, I am inclined to agree that she should be blocked. But that is a material reason.

Bush liking someone is wholly immaterial to whether they are qualified.
