Attacking Frum, or his motives, will not alter the essential point which is Miers was clearly not the strongest candidate available for SCOTUS. She has no history that gives one comfort she can withstand the pressures of the office.You knew Scalia and Thomas would handle the pressure because of their history of having done so throughout their lives.

We fought for 30 years to overturn the tyranny of the court and now when the opportunity is presented we are left with question marks.

You knew Scalia and Thomas would handle the pressure because of their history of having done so throughout their lives.

I didn't know about Clarence Thomas. His paper trail was thin, George HW Bush hailed him as "the best candidate available," when it was clear he was replacing the black member of the SC, and he lied in his hearings, when he said that he had never discussed Roe v. Wade with anyone.

So, Thomas was an unknown quantity to me, though I did rally to him when Anita Hill entered the picture.
