FYI..... thoughts of others that have been around Ms. Miers
My opinion is that she will be far more conservative than most think. I base this on her mind set (mathematics undergrad degree and her penchant for detail), her church membership (Bible-believing and pro-life), her care for her mother (age 93 and still living), her work ethic (worked her way up in a difficult profession without any connections in an era when women were not often attorneys), and her friendships with people like the Texas judge.
No point in getting all upset about this. The President has chosen, and we will see what happens. I think it may turn out to be a surprisingly good choice.
