Fairness?

The Miers debate reminds me of something that has seemed odd to me for a long time. To be admitted to the bar, a law school graduate must go through a cram session of several months, at the end of which he/she takes an examine consisting of a series of hypothetical fact situations which he/she then responds to in a process that would make any practicing lawyer liable for malpractice: giving a legal opinion without any research and no time to thinks about the matter.

There has been a snap judgment here without even giving the defendant a fair hearing. I hope the members of this lynch mob who have driven Ms. Miers to withdraw never have to be judged with the kind of fairness they were willing to give her.
