Personally, rather than regret, I plan to spend the next 25 years thanking my lucky stars that she is not sitting on the court making rulings that mock the Constitution with her ill conceived ideas about self determination and the appropriateness of judicial activism which she expressed in her 1993 speech.

Quote from Miers speech to the Executive Women of Dallas in 1993:
"My basic message here is that, when you hear the Courts blamed for activism or intrusion where they do not belong, stop and examine what the elected leadership has done to solve the problem at issue. And whether abdication to courts to make the hard decisions is not a too prevalent tactic in today's world: Politicians who are too concerned about maintaining their jobs."

As you say, no regrets are necessary
