Beldar On Miers Vs. Roberts

Beldar -- William J. Dyer -- bills himself as "a crusty, longwinded trial lawyer," but he's pretty darn succinct in post providing favorable comparisons between Harriet Miers and John Roberts.

Read it all, especially if you're skeptical regarding the nomination. Here's an excerpt to whet your appetite:
Harriet Miers now holds the office (Counsel to the POTUS) that Fred Fielding held in the Reagan Administration. John Roberts was Fred Fielding's subordinate. Were John Roberts to return to his first job in government, he'd now be Harriet Miers' subordinate. The position to which, during the Reagan Administration, John Roberts addressed all those eloquent memoranda on matters of policy — with which many skeptics of his nomination were justifiably impressed — is the same position that Harriet Miers now occupies.
