I think this woman was treated unfairly from the beginning. I can't say whether she would have made a good Supreme Court Justice because I didn't know a whole lot about her

Maybe if you were paying attention you would have known more and would have joined with those people who were being "unfair" by examining her record, or lack of one, and finding it wanting.

You can't just say "I'm ignorant and other people who weren't ignorant were wrong even though I don't know much about the situation."

Those who vilified Ms. Miers did so without actually talking to HER first. Most took possibly negative tidbits (note the operative words there are "POSSIBLY NEGATIVE")from this woman's past and tramped her good name into the mud without conducting a full investigation into the facts and circumstances surrounding her past actions.
