That said

To take a minute away from the merry spectacle of Harriet Miers being pilloried, though, it may not be all bad for me if she does get confirmed.

I'd like to think that I'm developing some sort of knowledge base in election law: Rick Hasen, a bigwig in that field, points out that decisions that Miers made when she was an at large member of the Dallas City Council from 1989-1991 are supportive of minority representation, the Voting Rights Act and anti-safe incumbents.

Of course, that was before the administration dropped a Ceti Eel in her brain.
