My question stands...it has not been answered by anyone on this forum...nor will it I suspect.

Here it is again..

Is Ms Miers the BEST QUALIFIED of all the existing excellent candidates for SCOTUS...and if so WHY?

I asked that last night, and received some rather rude remarks. But the question was never answered. HA!

Yes.

RKBA. Luttig and Brown never touched it. Miers did, and in originalist manner.

[Do not dub me shapka broham]

Whether or not she is the "best" is not nearly as important as whether or not she was better than most of the other potential nominees that the president could have chosen.

I haven't heard one person here dispute the notion that she was at the very bottom of his short list.

That's a matter of opinion, and largely moot. You can't get the candidate I would consider the best candidate thru the Senate.
