A few thoughts about Harriet Miers

While I'm sure she is a fine woman with a stellar legal mind, I think that there should be some serious questions raised about Bush's nominee for the SCOTUS. Bush said that she is the most qualified candidate, otherwise he would not have nominated her. That seems to be a little bit silly since he clearly is close friends with her, and really, what are the odds? I think a more acceptable thing to say would be that she clearly meets the qualifications and that he trusts her as a person and her judicial philosophy. I doubt that anyone, even Mr. Bush, thinks that she is the most qualified person for the job.

Maybe they make a great pair, Bush and Miers. He said she is the most qualified person for the Supreme Court and she said, according to David Frum, that Bush is "the most brilliant man she knows." I personally think it's great to have a woman on the court with such a great sense of humor :)
