On this one, Miers had the inside lane. It was not a close case, for both legal and policy reasons. Again, one needs to read her brief to get a sense of her mind at work, and her writing style, organizational abilities, sense of what to highlight and what to downplay, etc.

Good advocative writing in briefs is an art form. It is the most creative and rewarding thing I do.

I see your point, but for those of us less legal, could you please offer your own speculations about what you see in her style? Even though it may have been an 'easy win' it still was of merit in its solidarity, no?
