Harriet Miers

As regards her nomination to the Supreme Court, there are many people that are considerably more qualified to discourse at length over the qualifications of Ms. Miers than I am. So, I’ll apply great restraint by not belaboring the subject.
I would ask one simple question: Would you want a well qualified family physician performing cardiovascular surgery on a beloved family member?
Color me skeptical.

This comment from Hammerswing75:
The fallacy of your argument is that by virtue of a Harvard education and extended time on the bench a jurist will do a better job. Justices Souter, Kennedy, Breyer and Ginsburg all earned their law degrees at Harvard (as did Scalia and Roberts). I would prefer someone with more modest qualifications who was able to read and respect the constitution. That said, a jurist with impeccable legal credentials and a demonstrated committment to constructionism would have been better (all other considerations being neutral).
