I agree. Brit Hume had an attorney on tonight who has known Miers since they were law clerks many years ago. He said that she is extremely intelligent, no nonsense, well educated in a fine law school; and, he listed many of her accomplishments. He also said that everything she has done, she has done on her own. This fellow is a Democrat, too. She must be good for a Democrat to side for her. However, he did not say that were he in Congress, he would vote for her. He said he would want to hear her answers to the questions. He said any Democrat seeking to embarrass her had better be prepared, because she surely would be.
That would be former Texas Democrat Congressman Martin Frost. They clerked alongside one another in Texas, he with a Liberal judge, and she with a Conservative judge.
