Yessss. I second Derb. I couldn’t believe how much email I got of a Juan Colish nature saying “Who are you to say Miers isn’t qualified!”

It reminded me of a friend in high school who always thought he was being very clever when he told people they couldn’t criticize professional athletes since they weren’t nearly as good at basketball etc.

Of course Miers was vastly more qualifed than almost all of us in the Corner to be on the Court (I’m exempting Ponnuru, of course, and our lawyer guys who may or may not be less qualified but not necessarily vastly so).

Ben Affleck deserves an Oscar more than I do, but that doesn’t mean he deserves an Oscar.
