What are the qualifications for a justice on the Supreme Court?

Put Miers into the pool with Brown, Luttig, McConnell, Alito, Bathelder and Jones and you find in relation to these WELL QUALIFIED candidates she is not even on their level.

When nominated to be an Associate Justice, William Rhenquist was also accused of not being "distinguished enough".

To which Richard Nixon replied, "Put a f-cking robe on him. Then he'll be distinguished".

Apart from the F-bomb, that's funny. I absolutely, positively hate the F-bomb.

I do not care if she is distinguished. I believe the Supreme Court is too big a deal to take a chance she may turn out to be okay.
