That's interesting. Drawing just on my admittedly faulty memory banks, I could think of Clarence Thomas at the EEOC as working for the first Bush, and that's about it.
But if it wasn't an issue for Republicans when Democrats did it, and wasn't an issue for Democrats when Republicans did it before, then I agree, it shouldn't be an issue now.
That doesn't address qualifications, of course, but would take out the political angle.
