She's No David Souter

Harriet Miers will bring to the Supreme Court her knowledge of the critical issues facing our country today and fully informed view of the political branches on these issues. We need a judge on the Supreme Court who brings these new perspectives to the table, and together with her stellar accomplishments in her legal career it is obvious that she is a well qualified candidate.
Perhaps Miss Miers fails the Washington test because as Dick Armey might say, "she's a workhorse, not a show horse." There's a good reason this woman has consistently been recognized by fellow lawyers as being among the top lawyers in the country; she's clearly a leader in both the private sector and the public sector. She is one of the first to arrive and last to leave the White House and she'll bring this same work ethic to the court. And most of all, she's no David Souter.
