Justice Thomas was a Judge for a year before, he was nominated.

Harriet Miers qualifications for the Supreme Court are as thin as her paper trail which is virtually transparent.

She is not only the least qualified candidate to be nominated in recent memory, but she was the least qualified known candidate on the president's list.

nopardons never said Thomas wasn;t a judge -- she correctly stated that he had a thin paper trail.

She may very well be the least qualified (not a judge) on his list, but she is the one he knows best. Personally and professionally, which led him to state that she won;t take a left turn once on the bench.

And even so, Justice Thomas had a VERY thin paper trail. Please don't take my word for it; look it up for yourself.

And just WHY ( please be detailed and specific ) is Harriet Miers "the least qualified candidate to be nominated in recent memory." ?

There actually are NO listed qualifications, listed anywhere, for justices for the SCOTUS. Are you aware of that? And such vastly superior nominees, such as O'Connor and Kennedy and Souter and Warren and Ginsberg and on and on and on and on, gave us some of THE worst "opinions" handed down and NOT to be found in the Constitution; "penumbras" be damned!
