This woman has NO JUDICIAL EXPERIENCE. NONE. NADA. NEVER BEEN A JUDGE.

Apparently her major qualification is that she was helping Bush pick the *other* judicial appointees. At least she wasn't previously presiding over Cat Fancier judges or something.

I am just stunned. The Senate are going to tear her into little bloody chunks.

The has the job because she's from fucking Texas. Nothing else qualifiers her for the job.

From CNN:

"Miers, 60, who has never been a judge, was the first woman to serve as president of the State Bar of Texas and Dallas Bar Association. She also was a member of the Dallas City Council."

At least the conservatives are reeling at how utterly stupid the White House is on this one.

From CNN:

" 'The reaction of many conservatives today will be that the president has made possibly the most unqualified choice since Abe Fortas who had been the president's lawyer,' said conservative activist Manuel Miranda of the Third Branch Conference, referring to President Lyndon B. Johnson's pick to the high court in 1965."
