The notion that Miers is an "originalist" is pure spin. As is the notion, popularized by Bush at his presser yesterday, that she was the most qualified available candidate for the High Court. Risible. Absolutely risible.
Be Seeing you.

It is when unsupported with evidence, but it may be accurate. For example, her advocacy thatthe entire membership of the ABA vote on the pro-choisce resolution instead of having the position asserted by the ABA policy board resembles advocating a legislative policy-making having priority over judicial policy-making.
I'm uneasy with the nomination more because it looks like cronyism (even if she is exactly what conservatives would want in a judge) and it subordinates a dialoge about constitutional principle to a dialogue about "stealth," than because of concern about her likely jurisprudence.
