Mr. President, "Trust me?" You can't be serious. With all the untruths and outright lies you have foisted on the American People for the last five years, you expect us to trust you on your selection of Harriet Meirs for the Supreme Court? Based just on your word?

Perhaps we might have trusted you if you had not lied when fixing the facts to fit the policy on going to war with Iraq. WMD's in Iraq? The phony Iraq/Al Queda connection, the yellow-cake from Niger, the bogus Aluminum tubes? Tell us again how you let Bin Laden escape from Tora Bora.  By the way, just where is Bin Laden today?

Then you tell us you will fire anyone in your administration involved with the outing of Valerie Plame - just trust me?  We're still waiting.  Then you told your crony "Brownie" he was doing a "heck of a job" in arguably the worst bungled attempts to provide emergency relief for New Oreleans in the history of our Country.

Now you expect the Senate and the American people to roll over one more time as you nominate someone with no judicial experience, no paper trail, another crony? Now I have nothing against Ms. Meirs. She might be a terrific person.  For all I know, she might even make a great Supreme Court justice. But just based on your word? I don't think so. Release the records of her work for your administration so the Senate can check into her background a bit more than confirming she used to belong to the YWCA.

Fool us once, shame on you. Fool us twice, shame on us.
