Since it's hyperbole, at least give us a rundown of what particular attributes Ms. Miers lacks that are required for the job. Discussion, people.
Is it hyperbole? There are several attorneys on this board who have clerked in more prominent positions than her.

She lacks judicial experience, which I think is acceptable IF you are an amazing legal scholar (she isn't) or have an amazing background of cases tried (she doesn't). While I may not like the viewpoints of Scalia or Roberts, they were QUALIFIED to sit on the court. This woman is not any more qualified for the Supreme Court than a managing partner at a firm down the street. She has no significant and unique legal experience.
