"Have you even read any of her writings or are you just looking at what the NRO has been putting out?"
What are the good writings that I should be reading? I read David Brooks discussion and her writings were, to be charitable, not great.
Yea..well how easy would it be to scan trough someone's writings and pick out the worst you could find?
Here are some more with a little less biased spin and there is a lot more out there then people are letting on.
I am wondering what the real reason is behind saying Mier's has exceptionally poor writing skills because it is not evident in 99% of what I have read independently.
"Even as early as the first semester in law school, aspiring students notice that there is something different about studying law. Phi Beta Kappa undergraduate performance does not translate into sure success in law school. Much study and even technical understanding of the rules do not ensure high marks. Other qualities are necessary elements of success. For example, excelling law students show the ability to understand and advocate both sides of a controversy, the facility to spot issues with legal significance in complicated fact situations, adaptability, an aptitude for persuasion, and importantly, judgment. These criteria for academic performance are new to most students, but are clear signal that law is a different discipline---one that cannot be characterized as purely a science." Harriet Miers; Texas Bar Journal '93
