How sad if HM withdraws. She strikes me as average, humble, Godly and American. She's kind of like most of us. What's wrong with having an average American on the Supreme Court?

Let us get to know her. Who knows? We might like her.

The elitists around here won't like it.

After all, constitutional law is just...like...so hard...

If that's the case, why her? I would prefer the President nominate me for the SCOTUS instead.

Problem with "average" American is that they are highly likely to rule on cases with emotion (Liberal rulings).

"We might like her"?. I don't want to find out too late.

Wow, that sounds familiar:

"Even if he is mediocre, there are a lot of mediocre judges and people and lawyers. They are entitled to representation, aren't they?"
- Senator Roman Hruska in defense of Harold Carswell's 1971 SCOTUS nominaton.

Let's all come down off the cross, shall we? Carswell's nomination went down in flames and so will Miers'. Let's just get it over with sooner rather than later. Carswell's replacement was Rehnquist, and likewise we might get someone far better than Harriet the next time.
