And your reason for saying this? Miers and Rehnquist had similar careers.
Who the heck are you talking about?
I shall quote ....
"But in 1971 he had proven that he was fully engaged in the debate on the issues of constitutional theory, by academic papers and scholarship, by his work in the Justice Department, and by the nature of his private practice in Arizona...Miers has none of this."
And no one is suggesting nominating Rehnquist to this opening. People are suggesting the most qualified individuals: Brown, Luttig, Garza, et al.
