Harriet Miers remains a bad pick
I still haven’t seen any good argument for why Harriet Miers should be on the Supreme Court. It is not a good argument that “we should trust Bush” or that “the president has made his choice” or that she is a Texas lawyer (which seems to be Beldar’s talking point) or that the president can’t risk a defeat and so on.
We know practically nothing about her politics and ideology, and what little we do know (she likes affirmative action, she dislikes the Federalist Society) is not the least bit encouraging.
Bush made a shockingly bad decision in nominating her.
