I think I'm going to start to back away from my earlier kind words for Harriet Miers. I can handle her not having sat as a judge, working at a law firm representing white collar crooks and union-busting businesses, having pro-life and/or anti-Roe tendencies, even being a crony of the President. All of those things are pretty much par for the course when you elect a Republican to the White House, and, except for the Roe litmus test, not all that unusual with nominees from progressive Presidents. This sort of thing, though, makes me believe that she has no core convictions, save whatever gets her on the Court. Her confirmation hearings could get very grisly....
