Which Message/Which Nomination?
This Wall Street Journal piece (also referenced at Professor Bainbridge) notes that:
The lesson this nomination in particular will send to younger lawyers is to keep your opinions to yourself, don't join the Federalist Society, and, heaven forbid, never write an op-ed piece.
Really? More than the John Roberts nomination?

During his press conference today, President Bush said about Harriet Miers, "I picked the best person I could find." To all you conservative judges out there here is your slap in the face. Harriet Miers is the best person President Bush could find for the job. That is the message the President wanted to deliver personally.
Mr. Twister: I agree that statement clanged a little when it rang out from POTUS. I'd emphasize the "I could find" part--Ms. Miers was the one searching. Maybe she threw off the others so that she was all he "could" find.

The script writes itself...
Cheney: Harriet, just tell him you've examined all the possibilities, and you're the best person for the job.
Miers: He would never believe that.
Cheney: Hey, it worked for me.
