Miers is a qualified legal professional. She has over 30 years of experience as a law partner, head of a state bar association and legal council to the most powerful man in the world. She has never been a judge. CJ Rehnquist wasn't a judge either when Nixon nominated him to the SCOTUS.
Sorry she is no more talented than any Halfcourt scmoe, who played some basketbal in school.
What is absurd, is your fawning over a "benchwarmer" at best. (Pun Intended)
Oh don't try that Rehnquist was no more qualified than Miers angle here. It won't sell because it is laughably false.
Reinquist was (1) Widely respected for his intellect, (2) A US Attorney. (3) had graduated No. 2 in his class from Stanford law school. (4) was young.
None of these describe Miers.
