Rehnquist clerked for a Supreme Court Justice. Miers clerked in a District Court. Rehnquist went to Stanford and Harvard and was valedictorian at Stanford. Miers went to SMU. Rehnquist served as Assistant Attorney General. Miers is Bush's personal lawyer, and White House counsel; neither post requires confirmation.

But do you really think a woman in 1970 had the same chance as a guy to get a Supreme Court clerkship? And the law school that someone attends may be a product of finances as much as ability. I went to UVa. instead of Mich. simply because it was cheaper.

Not to defend Miers but it would be remiss not to note that:
John Marshall was a lawyer
Roger Taney was Secretary of the Treasury (I don't think he was ever a judge)
Earl Warren was governor of California
Rhenquist was Assistant Attorney General.
