LOL, you and a lot of others, but I'm glad you've decided to wait and see. This is still America, and I would hate to see us become some elitist group who thinks only those with Ivy League credential need apply for certain positions.

This country is great because it doesn't matter who your family is or what school you attended, each is judged on their own worth. I intend to see her worth or lack thereof in front of the judiciary committee. That is, provided we can get those windbags to stop pontificating for ten minutes and actually ask probing questions regarding her judicial philosophy and not wasting everyone's time asking what no sane person would answer, or any judge COULD answer and maintain their objectivity.

Now that was never my position. Sure it seems to be Ann Coulter's and George Will's among others.

Of course I am bummed that we didn't get Mike Luttig, I belive he went to U. Virginia or Maura Corrigan who I believe went to Michigan State and if we wanted to go with a non-lawyer there was always Mark Levin or Ann Coulter, or that prof Eastman from Chatman who is always on Hugh Hewitt's show, they all have Constitutional law experience.

My fear is that if the Senators don't waste all their time bloviating (some chance of that) and actually ask short pertinent questions - commerce clause, cruel and unusual, lemon test, etc. I fear she may get creamed. I know that Eastman/Coulter/Levin could handle those because they have dealt with them. Who knows, maybe Miers can too.

In summary, I will view and make up my mind about Miers during the hearings with no prejudice about how GWB ducked a fight.
