• As the New York Times says in a negative editorial on her in general, Miers failed her take-home quiz and was offered a do-over.
• In the WSJ, Ron Cass and Ken Starr make the case that Miers is a good nominee because of she is experienced in business law. Gordon Smith at The Conglomerate says probably so, but:

  Given her weakness in constitutional law, her background in business law looks like a strength. On the other hand, her nomination hardly merits praise for bolstering the Court's business law expertise. If that were the primary goal, I suspect that President Bush could have found hundreds of more qualified candidates. In the end, the total package is still monumentally disappointing.

• Byron York is generating a lot of buzz with his inside scoop on how the White House's special team for defending Miers is "Gloomy and Demoralized."
• Bob Novak thinks Miers might not survive.
• David Frum finds elitism among the pro-Miers team at the RNC.
• Miers is going to forgo further embarrassments meetings with Senators in order to study for her interview. She'll probably need these.
