There is a good round-up of commentary on the Volokh Conspiracy about the Harriet Miers nomination. Slate also has a good round-up article. More on the way.. This is clearly going to be the appointment that results in a giant battle.

The conservatives seem to be the loudest voice of opposition so far this time around, surprisingly. It seems no one is happy with this nomination aside from the most go-go of the go-team republican crowd.

My initial opinion in regard to this is that Roberts looks _really_ good now. This lady may be a very accomplished lawyer, but she does not appear to be SCOUTS material by a long-shot.

I also noticed in several articles that she has represented Microsoft and Disney. Does anyone know which cases? I'm going to have to spend some time digging through Lexus/Nexus getting some details on that. Depending on which ones, that might be the thing that makes me click over from "don't like" to "rabidly opposed".

Update: When Pat Buchanan is making reasonable statements about judicial picks, you know its a dark day.

Update2: I was only able to find one case in involving Miers, and she was not even the lead council. Nothing of relevance can be discerned from it. So much for litigation experience...
