Mild About Harriet

By Callimachus | Related entries in In The News, Supreme Court

Ann Althouse notices something curious about Harriet Miers, or maybe it’s about the media that’s covering her nomination:

I have yet to see a single piece of writing by Harriet Miers dealing with an issue of constitutional law or even anything purporting to demonstrate the analytical, interpretive skills required to serve on the Supreme Court. The nomination was announced on Monday. It’s Thursday. Can we have something in writing that shows her mind in action, that inspires confidence that this is a person whose judgment we should all trust for the next two decades?

Uh-huh. But thanks to my fourth estate friends, I do know a bundle about the nuances of her church’s dogma and theology. What are we choosing here, a Pope or a judge?

    The University of Michigan law library has put together a collection of her writings here: http://www.law.umich.edu/library/news/topics/miers/miersindex.htm including briefs submitted and some academic writing.

    It’s not as much as we might want to know but it does give us some indication as to her methods of reasoning
