From my reading of Kos, DD and a few other sites, it seems that many progressives and Dems view the nomination of Miers as a good thing. I see things like "we could do worse" and "makes Dems look good," with lots of attention paid to Reid's floating of her name and conservative disapproval with her nomination. I would like to point out what I see as the reasons for voting No on Miers and I would ask for comments on this, both from a idealistic principled perspective and a hard-nosed political standpoint. If you were advising your Senator on how to vote, what would you whisper in his/her ear?
