Five or so people on this post asked you to please tell us what the evidence is that makes Miers an "originalist." We're still waiting...

He was probably quoting Marvin Olasky, Bush advisor and someone who has spoken to people who know her well: "She's an originalist - that's the way she takes the Bible and that's her approach to the Constitution as well."

Also, her background is in Contract Law which is 100% applicable to Constitutional Law. I wish all the SC justices could start interpreting the constitution properly as a contract.

I know plenty of contract lawyers who are liberals. Their view on contract law is how to squirm around contracts to get the desired result. I am not saying Meirs is that way, just saying that her contract law background doesn't mean much.
