Question about Miers

I haven't said much about Harriet Miers. Fact is, within 30 minutes after the nomination much of my feelings had already been expressed by other blogs that follow SCOTUS more closely than I do. I am still opposed to the nomination, but have settled into the "lets give her a confirmation hearing" mode. I think politically the fallout from a withdrawn nomination and subsequent re-nomination would only serve to embarass the administration more, and may handicap the followon nominee.

The role that Miers has taken in the nomination process does have me curious, though. It's been widely reported that she was immersed in the process that vetted potential nominees such as Roberts, Luttig, Brown, and a handful of others; extraordinarily well qualified candidates with impressive credentials and respectable track records. Somehow, she has come to view that she fits in with this very distinguished crowd, else she wouldn't have accepted the nomination.

The question I have for both of you, dear readers, is this: What do you think this says about Harriet Miers? Personally, I can think of a few things, and not all positive. Leave a comment and let me know what you think.
