Harriet Miers -- uniquely qualified

Beldar as usual, brings some much needed sense to the discussion. He makes a lot of excellent points. Among those -- Miers is NOT a stealth candidate. W's father knew nothing about Souter. W knows Miers as well as any president can know a SCOTUS nominee who is not a family member.

Second, she has a truly outstanding resume. The skills necessary to be successful as president of the state and county bars and managing partner of a law firm that merged two of the most powerful firms in Texas, and from different cities, aren't found in too many people.

They beat the hell out of the skills necessary to be a law professor.

Stealth or limited experience nominees make me nervous. However, Bush has a history of doing or trying to do what he said he'd do. He said he would send a ton of money to Africa and he did. He said he'd try to reform socialist security and he tried, although he did a poor job of conveying the benefits to the working poor and lower middle class. He said he would nominate conservative justices in the mold of Scalia and Thomas. The jury is still out on this one, but maybe he did. This is contradictory to many of the things he has done, which tend to favor big government, but he said what he'd do and to date he's pretty much done or tried to do what he said.
