Miers appears to have been drawn from the D team. Being Bush's buddy just doesn't cut it. Time to admit it was a mistake and nominate a bold, brilliant, originalist, strict-constructionist constitutional scholar.
Therein lies the rub. We don't KNOW what MS Miers is about and won't find out until she's on the bench. We will have to trust GWB.
The inability to trust the president appears to be the largest drawback so far, eh?
