Ms. Miers, 60, was the first woman to become a partner at a major Texas law firm and the first woman to be president of the State Bar of Texas. At one point, Ms. Miers was Mr. Bush's personal lawyer.

Bush is probably looking for someone closer to 50. 60 is on the outside edge of realistic consideration, IMHO.

A 60-year old maybe with no track record and proof of her judicial philosophy? One can only hope this is a diversionary trial ballon.

Harriet Miers would be a clever choice, a candidate with no paper trail with to distort her record. She would be as much a teflon nominee as Roberts was. However, her age is an obsticle, as conservatives want someone who'll be around for the long haul.

Diane Sykes of the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals, a former member of the Wisconsin Supreme Court, would be a great choice. She's 46, with a conservative but mostly uncontroversial record (though her ex-husband is highly controversial in Wisconsin), and she was confirmed last year by a 70 to 27 vote, including 31 Democrats.
