They say that Miers is qualified.

To me the "qualifications"
needed for this position is a deep
understanding of the constitution,
past,
present,
and the future.

Janice Rogers Brown is that person.

Here is part of a speech she gave in 2000.

It is my thesis today that the sheer tenacity of the collectivist impulse —
whether you call it socialism or communism or altruism — has changed not only
the meaning of our words, but the meaning of the Constitution, and the character
of our people.

Government is the only enterprise in the world which
expands in size when its failures increase. Aaron Wildavsky gives a credible
account of this dynamic. Wildavsky notes that the Madisonian world has gone
"topsy turvy" as factions, defined as groups "activated by some common interest
adverse to the rights of other citizens or to the permanent and aggregate
interests of the community,"4 have been transformed into sectors of public
policy. "Indeed," says Wildavsky, "government now pays citizens to organize,
lawyers to sue, and politicians to run for office. Soon enough, if current
trends continue, government will become self-contained, generating (apparently
spontaneously) the forces to which it responds."5 That explains how, but not
why. And certainly not why we are so comfortable with that result.

This is what I believe,
This goes to the core of everything
that is wrong in this country.
