Miers it is

Congrats to Will Bunch (and Matt Drudge) for making the call -- most lawyers I know hadn't heard of this woman as recently as this past weekend, and yet she's the new Supreme Court nominee as of this morning. Expect a deluge of news and profiles by this afternoon . . . (and/or see the post below for some background on the rationale for the choice)

Update: best quote on this (heh):

This president can be bamboozled by anyone he feels close to. If a person fawns on him enough, is loyal, works 25 hours a day and says you’re the smartest man I ever met, all of a sudden you’re right for the Supreme Court.

Update 2: for more serious thoughts about Miers as a judge and as a political outcome, see Steve Clemons' first take.
