Miers thoughts
Oct. 5th, 2005 11:15 amI have heard so much nonsense about how Ms. Miers will rule on this or that case. Why are we even talking about this?
Why are we not discussing the obvious? The woman isn't qualified.
She has no record in constitutional law. She has no experience with constitutional law from any angle whatsoever. She has no published commentary on the law. She has not litigated constitutional cases. She has never dealt with constitutional matters from within the executive branch.
In fact, for all we can tell she apparently has no interest in constitutional law whatsoever. A brief search of my old name on google would show that I have a more expansive commentary on constitutional matters than this woman does.
She's simply unqualified. It doesn't matter whether you are a frothing far right nutcase hoping for a nomination that makes Scalia look sensible or someone hoping Bush has a last minute conversion and nominates an actual moderate or liberal. You don't need to go to the politics of it to vote to reject her. She is simply not qualified for the position.
