I heard her yesterday on Howie Carr's show. She kept talking about Miers not being from one of the top law schools in the country. On this issue she sounded like a little bit of an education snob to me.
Education snobs can easily cross the line into becoming bossy know-it-alls.
The "right law school" criterion is IMO something of a
misemphasis, but no more than that. ISTR George W Bush
claiming he wanted to appoint Justices of the caliber of
Justice Scalia. Whatever admirable as-yet-unmanifested
qualities Mies has, they are of necessity unmanifested and
undeveloped. He has picked someone whom no one can assess
with no record.
