I have no doubt that Miers is a right-wing Christ-o-crat, and that this -- combined with the lack of public record -- is why Bush picked her as First Among the Toadies.
Once on the bench, perhaps her lack of experience will result in her deferring to others, or seeking popularity by following O'Connor's evolution.

I have to disagree with Will on the fact that you can't assume she has been a victim of discrimination. If she is 61, she had to overcome serious obstacles to get where she is today. Especially in Texas where the old boys network is a strong as ever. I believe those obstacles have been seriously diminshed but there were rock solid when she began her legal career.
