Everybody else seems to be bailing on Miers. The contrarian in me wants to back her in response, but that would require having some strong argument to offer in her favor, however spurious that argument was.
Regular readers (both of you) will note that I've had little to say on the Miers matter. Given my brilliant record on Roberts (I still haven't decided what I think of him), I'm not the best Court watcher out there.
Still, this site more than any should know a Turkey when it sees one.
The White House, sadly, doesn't seem to have made the case for its nominee. Had they said, "She's great for..." and stuck to it, I might be able to tag along. But it seems like every time an argument in her favor is shot down, instead of responding, "No, really, we're serious and here's why..." the White House says, "Okay, how about this then?"
Enough. Harriet Miers seems eminently qualified to come speak to the local Chamber of Commerce. Even in a really, really big city. She's a great lady and a sweet lady and all that, or so it seems. But a Supreme Court Justice? Only in the sort of country that could buy Geena Davis as the President.
