Roberts provided an education on constitutional law and exhibited profound brilliance, all without notes and with excellent temperment. He wowed not only the committee but also the country (apparently not you, I acknowledge).

I think anybody would have a hard time matching his performance, and I am particularly concerned about Miers' ability to demonstrate a command of constitutional law commensurate with the position. The rats will go after her hardest on her faith and her knowledge of the fine points of the law. They want to paint her as a know-nothing Bush crony, and they want to put her threat to abortion on demand before the people.

You may think she'll do just fine. I'm crossing my fingers, because this whole thing could blow up and make all Republicans look bad.

Actually, I was quite impressed with Roberts. My reference to "Hollywood casting" was because he gave impeccable testimony, with a presence that was commanding. It was the ems' worst nightmare.

All I meant was that Miers may not speak as well as Roberts, who would be hard to beat.

But in her own way, I expect her to aquit herself well. She is a very smart woman.
