Early in this process, many Senators were suggesting Bush nominate someone outside of the Judiciary, she certainly fits that bill. I am willing to trust that the President knows this woman and that she is a conservative.

Something else to consider, Roberts has said repeatedly that he will insist cases accepted by the court will have a clear constitutional issue to consider, otherwise they won't take the case.

Put Miers into the pool with Brown, Luttig, McConnell, Alito, Bathelder and Jones and you find in relation to these WELL QUALIFIED candidates she is not even on their level.
