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.

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.
OMG you have to talk to a nominee personally before you can form an opinion?!?!?!??!!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
I must have missed my invite to the meet 'n greet!
