What the court is missing is someone who understands the consequences of its decisions on the American people.... The court is dangerously out of touch with America. Ms. Miers will help bring it back down to earth.

Not exactly compliments for the 7 known Justices on the court. I think judges that tack left once appointed are falling victim to their own percived intellect. They come to believe they are smarter than written law and start making decisions based on their own thoughts and not what is written.

There hasn't been a lot to compliment them on of late, has there? But the FR representatives of the judicial-academic complex want their pound of flesh.

Brit Hume pointed out that the justices that WERE conservative became active in DCs social life and were apparently influenced by it and that Miers is not part of the Washinton party circuit. She doesn't hobnob with the liberals. It had never occured to me that going to DC and socialsing with the liberals would influence a judges view.
