I have little to say at this time about the selection as I know little to nothing about Ms. Miers. Actually, prior to today, I knew absolutely nothing about her.

- Many Conservatives Aren’t Happy About Miers’ Selection
- Nominee known for not being known for her views (stupid registration required)
- Miers Supreme Court Nomination Gets Positive Yet Cautious Reviews
- Bush’s unconventional choice
- Democrats: ‘It could have been a lot worse’
- Court Nominee Has No Judicial Experience
