However, I don't believe there is any "best qualified" individual out there. It's in the eye of the beholder because the Constitution is silent on judicial qualifications.
From my point of view, results are what matter. Will Miers vote reliably and consistently right of center? If so, that's what matters to me. She doesn't have to be a brilliant Constitutional thinker in order to be a reliable right-of-center vote. She can do what most modern justices have done -- hire brilliant law clerks to do much of the behind-the-scenes work for her, including drafting her opinions. The one thing her clerks can't do for her is vote. That's the bottom line for me.
Am I convinced she will be a reliable, consistent right-of-center justice? Partially, but I still have more to learn about her.
