"My answer is: Don't trust me. Trust your own eyes. The woman is 61 years old, a lawyer for more than three decades. Can you see any instance in this long life and career where Miers ever took a risk on behalf of conservative principle? Can you see any indication of intellectual excellence? Did she ever do anything brave, anything that took backbone? Did anyone before this week ever describe her as oustanding in any way at all?"He's nuts. Tons of people have described her excellence at fetching coffee for the other justices. And hard-working, don't forget hard-working. She's obviously at least as qualified as the receptionist where I work.
Miers ever took a risk on behalf of conservative principle? Didn't she try to get a prolife plank in the Texas ABA?
And, besides, is that what is to be looked for in SC Justices these days...risk taking?
