Miers was a ridiculous nomination, and Bush paid for it with conservatives. She was Bush’s personal lawyer; not a judge, and not somebody with the gravitas to sit on the Supreme Court. Roberts was a much better choice, given only those 2 candidates.
Alito replaced Miers, not Roberts.
Roberts was already confirmed as Chief Justice before Miers was ever nominated.
FYI, Harriet Miers recommended against John Roberts. Rove advocated for Roberts. Now who is ridiculous?
Miers is better than Roberts.
Roberts hates freedom and the Constitution and voted for this monstrosity of a bill and to enslave us. If Miers was imcompetent, as you say, it’s better to have an incompetent tyrant than one who found a way to give the liberals a way to control us , call every mandate a tax . this marxist SOB Roberts twisted in all kinds of ways to rewrite this law and to destroy individual liberty in America. nothing that Miers could have done in this position could be worse.

There’s no requirement in the Constitution that a Supreme Court Justice has to have been a judge or a lawyer previous to their appointment to the Court. Forty-one of our Justices in fact had no prior law or judicial experience prior to their appointments.
The fact that you believe that a Justice should have been a lawyer first just shows that you’ve been suckered by the leftist media and their friends in the American Bar Association.
You got your "gravitas" all right, with Roberts.
How are you liking it?
