John, I thnk you need to read a bit more. Miers practiced quite a bit of law. She is quite adept at cross-examination. She wasn't some sort of "office manager". My sister-in-law is a partner in a firm, and I can guarantee you that the head of the firm isn't the "office manager."

I have a feeling he has no interest in doing such.

"John, I thnk you need to read a bit more."

That, MM, is ALWAYS true, no matter the subject.

"Miers practiced quite a bit of law. She is quite adept at cross-examination."

I am not convinced that it was high-level work. As for the cross abilities, I am not aware of any evidence for this, and have decided to discount her friends who say she is "brilliant."

"She wasn't some sort of "office manager"."

That was NOT a put-down, and you grossly mischaracterize what I said. The manager of a law firm with a few hundred lawyers, hundreds of active cases, and tens of millions of dollars in billings is NOT a little job. That said, it still doesn't tell me enough about her as a prospective SC Justice.

"My sister-in-law is a partner in a firm, and I can guarantee you that the head of the firm isn't the "office manager."

Asked and answered.

Please recall that I was only responding to another post, in as honest a way as possible. Which leads me to....

(And I'm not necessarily saying this applies directly to you.)....

Why can't some of us (roughly half, I'd guess) express genuine misgivings about something without being accused, in effect, of being "disloyal"--to the prez, our cause, conservatism, whatever? We have doubts, for God's sake, and for a lot of good reasons!
