(If the White House spin is that Harriet Miers got the job because nobody else wanted it ...)
That over-states things by quite a bit. The anti-Miers folks are over-the-top. Again.
Oh, thats right...Meiers was the "most qualified." Obviously more so than Priscilla Owen, who has only been a judge for YEARS!

J.C. Watts is on Sean's nationally syndicated radio show right now, trying-and failing-to come up with a rationale for the Miers nod.
Ooh!
He just repeated the White House talking point de jour, i.e. "we couldn't find anyone willing to go through this."

It's not in the Constitution that a S.C. judge has to even have judicial experience, and, a lot of people find it appealing that someone would serve on the S.C. who does not have a "career" as a judge behind him or her.
The fact that Miers has worked as an attorney in the private and public sectors is appealing in a unique capacity.
