The article points out the critical nature of the Supreme Court nominees and Bryant's stellar qualifications in ths area. He concludes with a ringing endorsement of Bryant. While I don't necessarily agree with the reasons why Corker represents "What's wrong with the Republican Party"(I take it he is speaking nationally), he definitely represents what's wrong with the Republican Party in Tennessee. For over 40 years(the extent of my personal knowledge of Tennessee Republicans) the party has been dominated by people whose main interest is not in what they want to accomplish when elected, but varying mixtures of personal ego, national groupie worship, or networking with "the Rich and Powerful" for career advancement. It is in continuing in this ignominious tradition that Corker represents what's wrong with the Tennessee Republican Party. His involvement in the grand and glorious Sundquist administration should give you your first clue. His campaign, so lamely positioning him on whatever side of an issue he(or his consultants) think will get him elected would shame even Bill Clinton. If you're still unconvinced, consider why someone whose own self-touted accomplishments and experience are totally executive, would oppose someone with outstanding legislative accomplishments and expertise in the most critical areas of concern, instead of seeking the executive office that the party was searching high and low for a candidate for at the time he declared for the legislative instead of executive office.
