How do you know she is not qualified? Do you know more about her than President Bush? If you do please share it with us.

That is a 180 degree reversal of the burden of proof and I'm sick of reading it on these threads.
Those who are critical don't owe the proponents an explanation. The burden is on the President to show us and the Senate why she's qualified. After all, he selected her to spend the remainder of her natural life on the nation's highest court, deciding issues of grave importance to this country.
And if the best you can offer is:
(A) Wait until the hearings, (B) I trust Bush; and now (C) She goes to the right Church
then I would say you haven't carried your burden.
I'm open to being convinced, but intimating that I'm sexist, elitist, a potential third party "unappeasable", and now that I (who was raised Baptist) am anti-evangelical is NOT going to cut it. In fact, its starting to make me think unpleasant thoughts about President Bush that he and his supporters would DREAM of employing these tactics AGAINST his base!
A. She has not done the type of legal work that would indicate she is qualified.
B. Many individuals with experience in the process of Constitutional law and the SCOTUS did not consider her to have the requisite qualifications for the SCOTUS.
C. She has not been identified as a person with such surpassing skills and a brilliant legal mind that lack of practicing qualifications as a judge would be secondary considerations.
To put it in sporting terms, the vast majority of major league baseball players spend time in the minors developing their skills before being promoted to the big leagues. A very select few superb talents can bypass the minors and go straight to the bigs. Miers hasn't played in the legal "minor leagues" that precede a SCOTUS justice-ship, and she hasn't demonstrated the skills and intellectual underpinnings one would expect in someone who bypasses the normal preparatory stages.
LOTS OF LAUGHS
Proving to us that SHE IS QUALIFIED is YOUR and DUBYA's job NOT MINE
So far you are both flunking lunch.
Here is THE reason she is not qualified for the SCOTUS. SHE IS THE PRESIDENT'S ATTORNEY! WHOSE JOB CONSISTS OF SAYING, YES BOSS, RIGHT AWAY BOSS, GREAT IDEA BOSS, and HOW HIGH BOSS.
What evidence to you have that she has ANY thoughts of her own about ANYTHING????
