Exactly. A person in her position would have been among the city's elite in the business community, and have the respect of the other 200+ ego-driven partners in her firm. She'd have to be a topnotch lawyer and administrator, used to takiing tough positions and holding to them. For anyone to equate her to an "office manager" is a joke.

Sounds like Coulter's comment on Maher's show that Miers is "a cleaning lady." Sorry Ann but that is not just unfunny but downright slanderous. When Ann or any critic has been the head honcho of a 200+ law firm and the head of a state bar of the third largest state and the chief attorney for a sitting president who was instrumental in vetting strong conservative justices etc. then we can talk.

Until the hearings I am not going to dismiss Ms. Miers - she deserves a chance to prove herself after all the bickering and rude putdown of her character. It is as simple as that

Amen. Roberts actually gave some pretty fuzzy answers in terms of his judicial philosophy. What if Miers comes out and stakes out a public, firm position as an originalist/strict constructionist?
