She's as qualified as Earl Warren was when Eisenhauer appointed him

And as Rehnquist was when he was appointed to the Court. In fact her background is similar, mostly civil law practice, followed by a few years as a government lawyer, in her case White House Counsel (amoung other jobs); in his case,Assistant Attorney General, Office of Legal Counsel.
