In the legal profession (as a lawyer), she can hardly be described as a lightweight. You do not get voted, not once, but twice, as one of the Top 100 Most Influential Lawyers in the U.S. without some...

I think a lot of the objection is he had the pick of the top 1% of conservative lawyers in this country and they were not "good enough" in his mind.
There are dozens who would not have to prove themselves to anybody but Miss Miers is now in the unfortunate position of having to do that at the same time keeping the Dems at bay.
It is a difficult feat to accomplish.

Remember, there are over 1,000,000 lawyers in this country, she was named among the Top 100 twice. The Top 1% would include 10,000 lawyers. Being in the Top 100 only once would place her in the Top .01% of lawyers, twice puts her in an even more elite class. I would say that is a pretty good qualification as good enough, better than 99%+ of the Top 1%.
