Miers could never have gotten through the confirmation process. Her knowledge of legal precedent and theory was so weak that the word was out from Congress back to the White House that she could not make it through the hearings. She knew it. Most lawyers looking from the outside in knew it. As far as an acceptable candidate, regardless of politics, she was so far down the list as to be unidentifiable. Bush felt he had the right to nominate anyone he wanted, as if a Supreme Court justice choice was a personal right rather than a duty to the Country. Dead wrong, as was readily seen.

i think you are way off base.... one of the biggest flaws in bush's style is that he tends to border on cronyism and places 'loyalty' almost above every other qualification, he lucked out with his selection of cheney under similar circumstances, he blew it with meirs... she's no dick cheney... the right looked at her qualifications and decided there was no way she qualified....or at the very least there were other much MORE qualified candidates...
