In the White House that hero worshipped the president, Miers was distinguished by the intensity of her zeal: She once told me that the president was the most brilliant man she had ever met.

She's going to have a tough time getting the Republican nod.
After all the criticism he picks someone in his administration with no judicial experience? Again, the guy is a moron.
Yeah, a lot more stuff is coming out about her helping to cover up Bush's drunk driving record, etc. I probably shouldn't have posted just links, but I couldn't think of anything else to add to this... this sort of cronyism is another Bush-style 'flip of the bird' to the country.
on a slightly more substantive level ...
What will be her criteria (and what should they be) for recusing herself from any cases where the Administration or the President himself has taken a position on a case before the Court?
For example, today the Administration argues before the Court that Oregon's assisted suicide act violates Federal drug laws. As part of the administration's legal staff which formulated that argument, could she possibly be untainted in sitting in judgement on its validity? Similarly, for the War Powers act, for Guantanemo detainees, for affirmative action case, for (God forbid) another "hanging-chad" case (how would you like to have the President's personal lawyer sitting in judgement over whether his election recount should be continued??!!) , for any of the significant proportion of cases that come before the Court that will have an Administration perspective ... it seems that for years she would have to recuse herself, leaving the possibility of 4-4 decisons.
