As the court’s new junior member, the 60 year old lady Harriet Miers will finally give a break to Stephen Breyer, who has been relegated to closing and opening the door of the conference room, and fetching beverages for his more senior Justices. Her ability to do this type of work with no resentment, no discomfort, and no regrets will at the least endear her to the others.

She will be influential because she will "fetch beverages"?

I realize that a lot of internet bomb-throwers don't grasp the subtleties of interpersonal communications, so your bewilderment is quite understandable.

However, Miers rose to the top of a large law firm. Which meant she can be inclusive and nice when needed and bite like a tiger shark when the need arises as well.

It's called a "paradox."

The greatest leader the world has ever known was effective because he chose to wash the feet of his followers."Servant
Leadership" is the most effective and long lasting of all the leadership models.
