One good thing I have heard is that Harriet Miers voted against letting the elite liberals at the ABA choosing their pro choice position, she wanted it up to the individual members to choose.
She isn't an intellectual heavyweight but is she turns out to be right of O'Conner I'm sure we will not be as hard on her.
Time will tell, hopefully she is the type that turned conservative latter in life.
It's a shame that the pick wasn't already one where time has told.
