SCOTUS Nomination

Andrew Sullivan:
"It seems to me at this stage that Miers might well be a quiet, decent judicial restraint conservative on the court. I'm still open to supporting her nomination. But a more fundamental issue is simply her intellectual and legal caliber. This is SCOTUS. After Roberts, we have gone from a clear A grade to a C +. It seems to me her nomination would be most successfully defeated merely by insisting that the court gets someone qualified in the most basic meaning of the term."
(My emphasis)

Laying the smackdown on Ms. Miers. Ouch.
