Who exactly does or "did" the anti-Miers crowd want nominated instead?

There was a list.

But as for me, I liked Janice Rogers Brown.

Who exactly does or "did" the anti-Miers crowd want nominated instead?

I wanted a nominee who liberals said this about:

Justice Janice Rogers Brown

A review of California Supreme Court Justice Janice Rogers Brown's record to date raises serious questions and grave concerns about her persistent and disturbing hostility to affirmative action, civil rights, the rights of people with disabilities, workers' rights, and criminal rights. In addition, Brown has often been the lone justice to dissent on the California Supreme Court, illustrating that her judicial philosophy is outside the mainstream. Not only does she show an inability to dispassionately review cases, her opinions are based on extremist ideology that ignores judicial precedent, including that set by the U.S. Supreme Court.

They always have their wish list of candidates, not knowing if they could or would serve on the S.C.. They have condemned this person without hearing a word from her. I've never seen anything like it about a nominee from their own paty. Instead of taking on the false charges against DeLay, Frist, Rove, Bennett, ETC, and doing some beneficial research and "fighting" there, they're attacking a conservative judicial choice. Those of us who defend Ms Meirs or are at least open about her potential qualifications are called various names. And if you disagree with Ann Coulter and happen to be a woman, they automatically of course think we're "jealous"! As if she were the only attractive female on earth. Such shallow narrow-minded chauvanism in that pre-programmed (by many here) response.
