It is a reasonable question actually: who was the last white conservative southern protestant appointed to SCOTUS?
Could this be the crux of all the angst against Miers?

I have been repeatedly posting that she is a SOUTHERN Christian woman.
Until your research and post, I had not realized how important that factoid is!
Good job, gobucks.

Futhermore, toss in the negative remarks about her eddyKshun at SMU... yes, I think you may be on to something, no matter how small, it's THERE.
Also, think about this from Wolfstar
It bears repeating:
The reactionaries' favorite short list are all judges President George W. Bush appointed to the appellate bench.

Could this be the crux of all the angst against Miers? No, but it is a factor. The prominence of Southerners in the "revolution of 1994" caused a case of heartburn in the Republican Party. I remember the rantings of Peter King, for one. Historical memory is more important than people think. The people who live in the "Old Union"--the one that won the Civil War--think they are the natural rulers of the country/
