No Runny Eggs

The repository of one hard-boiled egg from the south suburbs of Milwaukee, Wisconsin (and the occassional guest-blogger). The ramblings within may or may not offend, shock and awe you, but they are what I (or my guest-bloggers) think.

Miers quick hits

by @ 0:02 on October 10, 2005. Filed under Miscellaneous.
  • OpinionJournal’s political pundit John Fund retracts his earlier call to mute the criticism of Miers, relaying this quote from an unnamed “close colleague” from her law firm, “She is unrevealing to the point that it’s an obsession.”
  • Beldar comes up with impressive list of cases that Miers worked on in private practice. While he puts a serious dent in the “just a third-rate trial lawyer” arguments against her (something I never bought into; no American law school gives away JDs and you don’t get to the head of the Dallas Bar Association and State Bar of Texas by being a “third-rate” or even “second-rate” lawyer), that he only cites the results from these cases and not the briefs does nothing for my main argument that her likely judicial temperment is still a complete unknown.
  • The Hedgehog asks a series of “what now” questions. While he blames the anti-Miers camp for the necessity of the “what now” questions, Jib asks why the pro-Miers camp continues to belittle those who have serious doubts of Miers.
  • WTMJ’s Charlie Sykes is now hoping on-the-air that there can be some “face-saving” way for the Miers nomination to be withdrawn in favor of, say, Janice Rogers Brown. Somehow, I don’t see that happening, much less a Brown-for-Miers replacement
