Just curious, and not that I support her, but why do you assume her academic experience is lacking, just because she is not a grad. of some stuffed shirt Ivy league school? I know many atty's from schools that are not "Ivy league" that would chew you up and spit you out in a court room.

Your criticisms of Harriet Miers: "Her professional background." Earl Warren was a politician before being appointed. He seems to have cut a wide swath. She is one of a handful of lawyers alive to try a 12th Amendment Constitutional case. She has been working on a variety of legal issues to which you and I are not privy. President Bush has had an opportunity to review her work. I am confident that he discussed her qualifications with several other excellent attorneys. "Her work experience." See above "Her academic resume." That appears to be a biased point of view. To say that only Ivy Leaguers are qualified to be judges is just elitist snobbery.
