There is not one reasonable person who can claim she is not. You cannot in the same breath complain that nothing is known about her and that she is not qualified, which is what most of the emotionally-driven complaints about her have been.

I know plenty about her and I know she is not in the top 50 candidates for the Supreme Court in this country.

Do you think Harriet Miers is a better choice than J. Michael Luttig, Michael McConnell, Samuel Allito, Janice Rogers Brown, Priscilla Owen, Miguel Estrada, Alice Batchelder, Maura Corrigan, Mary Ann Glendon, Theodore Olson, John Cornyn, William Pryor and Karen Williams?

I know there are plenty of people in this country who are just as good as those listed.

The problem with many "conservatives" is that they had their narrow minds fixed on your very short list of names and anyone -- anyone -- other than those people would have set off a similar firestorm.

Conservatives are supposed to be fair, logical, and open minded, at least willing to get the facts before going off half cocked. I'm not seeing that with either the Miers or the Roberts nominations. What I see is a bunch of emotional venting based on no evidence whatsoever.

It's embarassing.
