Harriet Miers.

Of course I'm a bit bothered by Bush appointing a woman who appears to be, shall we say, excessively loyal. Smacks of cronyism. But the fact that Barbara Boxer and others have been so bothered by Miers's lack of judicial experience has me puzzled. Because of the special nature of the Supreme Court, I'm not sure prior judicial experience has any bearing on whether a nominee will make for a good justice.
