So he's off the hook. It turns out he was free to nominate justices after the mold of his private secretary and chief suck-up.

But you know, on the basis of the objective evidence of qualifications alone, Miers herself would have never selected . . . herself . . . for the seat.

Here's the way I like it framed:

Is Miers more qualified than Roberts, Scalia or Thomas? The answer is clearly no - not even in the same league.

If she is at least a consistant "vote" then Bush should be nominating someone younger.

Absolutely right. Either a proven originalist or a proven intellect....Miers is neither.
