Miers nomination = the Peter Principle?
Although not particularly impressed by the nomination of Harriet Miers to the Supreme Court, I decided to wait to evaluate her performance during the Judiciary Committee hearings before finally deciding whether to support or not support her nomination (as if anyone cares what I think, anyway!) ;^).
However, several bloggers are doing a good job discussing the implications of the nomination, particularly Stephen Bainbridge and William Dyer. Most of the debate from such responsible bloggers is well-reasoned and above-board, but David Frum weighed in a couple of days ago (see post "What the Insiders are Saying") with a post based on alleged well-placed confidential sources who contend that the Miers nomination is the product of the Peter Principle.
Welcome to the big leagues of petty politics, Harriet.
