My Take on Miers:

You know, I never, for the life of me, thought that I had a chance of becoming a Supreme Court Justice (or even any seat on the federal bench). But now, my hopes are up. If you notice a change in my writing style -- that I start kissing Bush's butt more (btw: did I ever tell you that I think he's the most intelligent man in the world?) -- it may be because I'm throwing my hat into the ring of contention for the next open seat. Mr. President, you have my email address.

Hahahaha. Very nice, Prof. Rowe, very nice indeed. What a perfect way to sum it all up.

The nomination somehow brings William O. Douglas to mind. No particular legal philosophy. Nothing to recommend him to the Supreme Court except the fact that he had a high profile and played poker with FDR. The current nominee's history would indicate that she would take the job a bit more seriously, however.

Jon,

Since we're fantasizing here, if I were on the Judiciary Committee, you'd have my vote!

No, no, no, Jonathan. Me first. I have far less qualifications than you.
