His research is underwhelming, to be kind. In what ways?

(If you're not willing to give Harriett Miers a hearing, I don't give a damn what you think.)

I read the two cases he highlighted. They had Miers name on them, along with about 1/2 dozen other people from her firm. You couldn't tell what she had done. They were cases for big name clients but the legal issues were not very remarkable. They said nothing about Miers one way or another. Not bad, but not great. Other than her client did win.
He misrepresented many things such as implying or even stating that Miers had done something wonderful because the Texas Supreme Court had not taken the case after Miers' client had won at the court of appeals, when everybody knows that only a small portion of those appeals are ever reviewed by the Court (about 10-15%).
I could be more specific if I had the cases in front of me. If you want more specific information, let me know and for you, Sink, I'll go read them and answer your specific questions. But, in a nutshell, he takes garden variety occurrences and makes it sound like Miers walks on water. Very disingenuous.
