I presume that a number of the leading conservative candidates for the SC or on it are "weak in math." Almost every attorney I have know admits a failing in things technical. So what is the point?
The point is this:
(1) A great deal of the criticsm of Ms. Miers centers on her supposed lack of intellect, i.e., intelligence.
(2) Some things she wrote in social and organization contexts are being held up as examples of her supposedly weak intellect.
(3) IQ tests have long been used to measure at least two forms of intelligence: math and language skills.
(4) Ms. Miers has degrees in both math and law, which indicates that her IQ scores must be well above average.
(5) Conclusion: Ms. Miers cannot be as weak an intellect as her opponents wish to paint her.
