Washington Post has a sappy article about how we never really got to know the real Harriet Miers:
Jerry Clements was getting ready yesterday to tape a television commercial supporting the confirmation of her friend and former law partner, Harriet Miers, as a Supreme Court justice when she heard Charles Gibson announcing Miers's withdrawal on "Good Morning America." Enraged, Clements canceled an afternoon flight to Austin, deciding instead to drive and to use the time on the open road to blow off steam.:..."The process she was going through completely misunderstood the person she was," said Jordan, who preceded Miers as president of the Dallas and Texas bars. "The stories of Harriet Miers's compassion and willingness to help the small people are legendary in Dallas. I think that ability to listen and to lead with character would've made her very important on the court."
This shows how much her supporters really don't get it. That's great that she's kind and compassionate, but it has nothing to do with her ability to serve on the Supreme Court. I'll take a complete jerk as long as he understands the Constitution and knows how to interpret it.
