Tdaxp has the proof. (Hat tip to SDP)
Here is one that is not as funny:
John Roberts was called a stealth candidate, too, but after two years on the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals, 39 Supreme Court arguments and several law review articles, compared to the mole hill of Ms. Miers the paper trail of Judge Roberts looked like a massive mountain. Roberts' judicial philosophy was consistently reflected in his written opinions as a judge, echoed in his briefs written as a lawyer and stated straightforwardly in his testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee – and still doubts remain.
Harriet Miers' judicial philosophy, as best we can discern, even now has not been fully formed, much less articulated. After an hour's private meeting with her, Sen. Sam Brownback, an influential member of the Senate Judiciary Committee and a staunch conservative, left frustrated at the lack of information and insight revealed. Like the rest of us, Brownback was left trying "to gather little pieces of shreds of evidence" about who Harriet Miers really is and what she believes.
The factors weighing in favor of Ms. Miers may be summarized as follows: 1) President Bush, who has performed well with other judicial nominations, has said she is the best candidate for the job; 2) her friends assure us she is a devout evangelical Christian, and 3) Dr. James Dobson has endorsed her nomination. With all due respect, this is not exactly an overwhelming case for confirmation.
