First, I said it is one of her accomplishments when someone else incorrectly stated that her tenure leading the Bar was the only accomplishment cited. (I'll make a sidenote that someone else later cluelessly went on to say that Religion was the only qualification cited) I then pointed out that people were uninformed when they derided the Lottery experience.

I did not herald it as the defining accomplishment or qualification.

Got that?

Now, in the wake of people wringing their hands and saying she goes to church and fearing she'll be swayed by liberals, as if she has no experience making tough decisions I look to this Lottery experience as an example of her character, decision making, legal judgement and fairness.

For you to wave a hand at Trump and Spielberg as comparable shows how silly you are being, however, here's some information:

My point was to highlight how shallow your own argument was. Do you really think all Miers needs to show us is

Character, decision making, legal judgement and fairness. ?

There are many democrats who qualify under that stringent standard.

Sorry, but we are debating the appointment to the highest court in our land. This woman is no standout, no scholar, and has NOT in fact demonstrated a consistant stance on conservative issues. Based on her background, we have almost no way to assess what kind of jurist she'll be - or how she'll swing. The Christian angle has been brough up again and again here because it's a large piece of the "trust Bush" argument.

It looks like she was a decent manager, but the article you cite is hardly compelling in terms of a SC nomination. If you read that article on DU in support of a Clinton nominee, would you argue for them?
