Puddle deep intellectually? Why don't you wait until after the hearings before you judge her intellect? I thought that in this country we were all innocent until proven guilty. If you didn't learn that in law 101 perhaps you are not the one to be judging Ms. Miers and her qualifications.

You have to be kidding if you think that the standards of a criminal trial are somehow imposed on the American people when discussing a presidential appointment to the judiciary. When people who have seen her work say that she is a meticulous procedural type but without anything of a creative or penetrating insight...or even an interest in same.

You seem to be the one who is trying to trammple on people's rights--eg the right to speakm freely. I have pointed to the basis for my opinion.
