So many blogs about Harriet Miers.

As much as I hate to admit it, John Roberts is probably going to make a good Chief Justice. Even a whining liberal like me can tell he has the experience and intelligence which make him qualified to run the Court. But Harriet Miers?
Granted, I was hardly suprised that another one of Bush's buddies was tapped to fill a job for which s/he was grossly unqualified. And, other Supreme Court justices have also lacked bench experience. But, even when compared with Sandra Day O'Connor, Miers' credentials are so sub-par that her nomination seems like a joke (Southern Appeal has a much funnier take on this issue).

Miers' weak resume and lack of experience in the legislative, executive, or judicial branches of federal, state, or local governments, coupled with a penchant for eerie Jesus-finding experiences makes me hope this will be a short process.
