That's great. But she's not nominated for "Who's Who," she's nominated for the Supreme Court. An associate justice on the Supreme Court has a very specific job to do, one that has nothing to do with heading a large law firm, being president of the state bar, making review ... and so on. What could the Texas Lottery Commission possibly have to do with debating the interstate commerce clause?
Hillary Clinton doesn't even have those credentials. We need an article comparing Hillary's legal credentials with those of Miers. After all, isn't a presidential candidate and a Scotus candidate at somewhat similar levels?
No! No they're not. The jobs are entirely different and overlap only insofar as they're at the top of their respective branches of government. And even that's a flawed analogy because the aftereffects of a bad presidency are either subtle or reversible, while the penumbra of a bad Supreme Court justice is dark indeed.
In my view is an honest expression (as is IMO or IMHO). All of these things are our opinions, and there is no universal truth that jumps out at us.
That being the case, I see nothing in the record of this candidate that disqualifies her, a lot that qualifies her, a lot that puts her above a vast majority of other female lawyers, and a lot that has her above many other lawyers in federal service. (Jaime Gorelick for example.)
I've run across no one who has yet supplied the name of a female, conservative lawyer with her credentials. And her credentials top those of a Hillary Clinton, a Jaime Gorelick, and a Ruth Bader Ginsberg who was simply an aclu lawyer.
