A Stitch in Haste

If you need a detailed explanation of how White House Counsel Harriet Miers is not a constitutional law expert and is therefore patently unqualified for the Supreme Court, then simply peruse this detailed SCOTUSblog post.

Highlight:

Miers also made a broad claim to having handled constitutional questions as White House Counsel to President Bush. But, she gave no details, even though the Committee had asked her to "describe in detail the constitutional issue you dealt with, the context in which you dealt with it, and the substance of any positions you took related to that issue." She also failed to provide detailed support for a claim that, as a private lawyer, she handled "many cases involving issues of personal jurisdiction under the United States Constitution" and gave no details on her handling of "many First Amendment issues" while representing "a media client for many years."

Does anyone remember the movie Telling Lies in America in which Brad Renfro's character Karchy Jonas would, whenever he was asked "Have you ever done...?" would inevitably (and falsely) reply "Sure, lots of times..."

That's where we're at now with Miers -- she's the Karchy Jonas nominee.

I stand my ground -- Miers is not qualified even to serve as Solicitor General, let alone Supreme Court Justice.
