Hutchenson might as well have said that Meirs has the same experiences as Ginsberg.
So far the praisers are making it WORSE.
Seems her only asset is the fact she wears a skirt, NOT her legal knowledge or philosophy.
IOW she got the job BECAUSE of her gender not her qualifications.
That's not true.
She got her job because she's friends with the POTUS and her gender. Not that that sounds any better.
"Seems her only asset is the fact she wears a skirt"
Looking at her, that's not much of an asset.
David Frum at NRO:
I worked with Harriet Miers. She's a lovely person: intelligent, honest, capable, loyal, discreet, dedicated ... I could pile on the praise all morning. But nobody would describe her as one of the outstanding lawyers in the United States. And there is no reason at all to believe either that she is a legal conservative or - and more importantly - that she has the spine and steel necessary to resist the pressures that constantly bend the American legal system toward the left.
I am not saying that she is not a legal conservative. I am not saying that she is not steely. I am saying only that there is no good reason to believe either of these things. Not even her closest associates on the job have no good reason to believe either of these things. In other words, we are being asked by this president to take this appointment purely on trust, without any independent reason to support it. And that is not a request conservatives can safely grant.
