Great opinion piece by John Cronyn, someone who has known Ms. Miers for years, and is convinced of her abilities and suitability for the Supreme Court. He mentions what I had thought when I heard she was not of the 'legal elite'. She's been dealing personally with the law, and the consequences of bad laws and poor judicial decisions for many years as a courtroom lawyer. She'll bring something to the Supremes they haven't had in years; a dose of REALITY!!
Oops! Transposition error. It's Cornyn, not Cronyn.
