...atbout Harriet Miers being proposed as a Supreme Court Justice.
TIME.com: A Sampling of the Writings of Harriet Miers -- Page 1Guess what. I don't particularly care.What kind of Supreme Court justice would Harriet Miers be? For anyone trying to assess her qualifications, analyze her philosophy and predict her behavior, Miers would seem to present a fairly blank slate. She has no judicial resume and hasn't left a long trail of noteworthy memos, briefs, oral argument transcripts or law journal articles.
I figure she'll do a decent job. She's already said she won't legislate from the bench, that she'll actually go by what's in the Constitution instead of reading things into it. That'll do for me.
The media, however, need something to obsess about. This is much more interesting than anything coming out of Iraq or Afghanistan, and much closer, too. This way, they can all stay stateside and eat at the finest restaurants in Washington, DC... as opposed to MREs.
So. Miers? Big yawn. Wake me when it's over.
