RE: RE: "Advice & consent"

Yours truly said: "If we were sure Miers was another Thomas or Scalia, then who cares that she graduated from SMU or any other college."

Steve responds: "But that's just the point. We're not sure of that. The issue of her educational pedigree is only pertinent because we know absolutely nothing else about her."

My point is that my views on Miers has nothing to do with her going to SMU. My problem is I don't know anything about her. Ann is making a point that one of the reasons to be against Miers is because she went to SMU, not some "elite" Ivy League school.
