What else can one conclude based upon this statement from todayÂ’s news conference?

Asked by a reporter if she was "the most qualified" person he could find in the country, he said, "Yes, otherwise I would not have" named her.

Dare I suggest a list of other candidates better qualified for the Supreme Court than Harriet Miers?

1. Janice Rogers Brown
2. Priscilla Owen
3. Michael Luttig
4. John Cornyn
5. Edith Jones
6. Consuel Callahan
7. Maura Corrigan
8. Alberto Gonzales
9. Manuel Miranda
10. Miguel Estrada
11. Robert Bork
12. Ted Olson
13. Edith Clement
14. Emilio Garza
15. J. Harvie Wilkinson
16. Bill Pryor
17. Samuel A. Alito
18. Michael W. McConnell
19. Larry D. Thompson
20. Karen Williams

And those are just the Republicans who spring to mind – I won’t get into the liberals who, while repulsive to me in terms of judicial philosophy, are much better qualified, folks like Alan Dershowitz and Larry Tribe.
