Thread Name: BS: Miers withdraws
Subject: RE: BS: Miers withdraws
Ted Koppel had David Frum and George Will on last night's Nightline.

They made sense to me. Their position, especially Will's, was that Miers was a lawyer, pure and simple, who had showed no interest or expertise in the Constitution or the judicial opinions of the Supreme Court, and had shown no signs of intellectual growth in her career and that the fault was Bush's for thinking otherwise. (The 'intellectual growth' is not a direct quote but it was implied.)

He said that if she were deemed 'good enough', there are 1.4 million other lawyers in the country who also are appropriate for inclusion on the Court. And that, he said, is nonsense.
