I don't have much to say about Harriet Miers's nomination to the Supreme Court other than it seems mystifying if one reads it as anything other than an act of cronyism. Miers does not stand out in any way from the pile of prospective justices; only if her loyalty to the Bush clan is taken into account does she become notable. It is truly a special kind of loyalty when she has proclaimed Bush to be the most intelligent man she's ever met.

This is probably a nomination worth opposing on the simple grounds that her primary qualification is a slavish loyalty to a failing president.
