Harriet Miers?!?

Generally, as mentioned below concerning John Roberts, I am in favor of judicial nominees who are something other than lifetime academics or judges. Real world experience is important and often sorely lacking on the appellate bench.

But Harriet Miers? So far, I don't see anything that qualifies her for a lifetime appointment to the highest court in our country. Dallas City Council? Are you kidding me?

This appears to be an excellent example of Dubya appointing an unqualified crony, whose only qualification is her loyalty to the Bush regime, to an incredibly important position.

She's another Brownie. I'm sure she'll do a heck of a job, just like him, if her appointment is ever confirmed.

The man won the election. He gets to appoint whoever he wants.

Nah. Article II, Section 2, of the Constitution says he gets to nominate whoever he wants, but "by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate." It's not an "appointment" -- it's a nomination. Big difference.
