Ramesh – I’ve posted a lot of letters and your instinct is correct at least as far as I’m concerned. Since the Corner itself seemed fairly unanimous in its general disappointment, I thought it only fair to post letters from folks who disagreed. I’ve gotten LOTS of letters from folks saying Miers was the last straw for them and that they are furious (a small but significant number of these letters have been from people in the Texas legal community). I’d say overall, more email has been anti-anti Miers but that’s normal in that people who disagree tend to write more than people who agree.

Also, I should add that I concur completely about Corner readers representing an elite. They are a very, very, very smart bunch who are real junkies about this stuff. My guess is that Corner readers are disproportionately represented in the ranks of the most political informed people in their offices, communities etc. Obviously they’re disproportionately conservative, too. And handsome, decent and nice-smelling.
