Why are so many so upset with the Miers nomination?

[Stephen L. Wasby]

Certainly some would say that Fred Vinson was the least distinguished CJ.
Although Stone did not hold the Court together well, as a justice he is
certainly not among "the least distinguished."
    And definitely Charles Evans Whittaker  (whom I noted in an earlier
message)
    From the frequency of mention in this regard, Sherman Minton.
