...what do we know about her?

Nothing. She is the ultimate stealth candidate – she has never been be a judge. NO. PAPER. TRAIL. She will be murdered in the hearings.

There is no constitutional requirement for a judge to be a lawyer or even have judicial experience at all. As a professional pick - I wouldn't have chosen her. But as a political pick - its brilliant. No paper trail and no controversial views. I can just see Ann Coulter ripping the President a new clymer over his latest nominee. Roberts looks stellar next to Miers. There were better candidates but the President didn't feel up to a prolonged fight with the Democrats. Bottom line as I see it Miers will be no better than O'Connor and she can hardly be worse than Souter.

She knows Alberto Gonzalez very well. She may have to refuse to answer questions based upon her knowledge of the USDOJ and as legal advisor to the President.

She's given him some very bad legal advice in the past imo.
