In coming weeks the White House will directly enagage critics’ claims that Harriet Miers is professionally unqualified to sit on SCOTUS, the WAPO reports. The administration plans to rebut the charge that their nominee is unqualified in part by releasing an endorsement signed by three members of the elected Texas Supreme Court. “We feel confident we know what it takes to be a justice — Harriet Miers exceeds that mark,” write the lone star jurists.
I am inclined to agree that Miers is well-qualified to sit on the Texas Supreme Court. Perhaps a Miers campaign for a seat is the face-saving withdrawal strategy conservatives have been seeking.
