Larry Ribstein notes in this post that, based upon Harriet Miers‘ investment track record, it may be a mistake to presume that she will be as adept on business-related issues as a Supreme Court Justice than a proven Judge such as, say, Edith Jones would be. But Professor Ribstein shares my view that we should wait to evaluate Ms. Miers’ performance in the Judiciary Committee hearing before deciding whether to support her nomination, although he wryly notes:
I’m still reserving judgment until I see Miers’ performance in the Senate. But, then, I’m still expecting Ernie Banks to some day lead the Cubs in the World Series.
Gordon Smith shares Professor Ribstein’s skepticism of Ms. Miers’ track record on business-related issues.
