I'm with you on JRB, she was my favorite. But I did notice this in the Washington Post article:
Miers was active in a 1992 battle in the American Bar Association, arguing vehemently but unsuccessfully against a resolution supportive of abortion rights.
Yet the Dems like her? What am I missing?

You are missing the reason Miers gave for "being against" the resolution. The reason wasn't because of it's contents. The reason was that she wanted the entire ABA membership to have a vote, instead of just the ABA leadership.
Like advocating direct vote for President, instead of choosing a President by a vote of Congress. It says nothing about which candidate one supports.
The ABA was impatient to get a position on it's books. Chances are the position taken by a majority of ABA members would be pro-choice.

Yet the Dems like her? What am I missing? Sheer unwashed speculation on my part, but maybe they like her because she isn't Brown, Luttig or Clement. And then there's the age issue - even if confirmed, she likely will not serve as long as JRB would likely have served.
