Face Off: Miers Vs. Roberts

I’ve already seen plenty of comparisons made between nominee Harriet Miers and past Supreme Court Justices, including a few assumed generalizations when lining her up against the most recently confirmed Supremer, Chief Justice John Roberts. Again, the conventional wisdom is that he stands head and shoulders (not just physically) above her in terms of qualifications. But, upon further examination by Beldar, the dissimilarities aren’t as vast as you’d expect.
