SMU alum is the nominee

Here's the link. Miers has both an undergrad in mathematics and a law degree from SMU. I'm sure this is also a big day for Locke Liddell & Sapp, where she was a partner.

The fact that she's never been a judge may make her, in the words of RKellus, an untraceable weapon (or perhaps a pristine bullet?) - but the President reportedly describes her as a "bulldog in size 6 shoes." It's Mixed Metaphor day here at the Deadman. We also don't know what to make of reports that legislators on both sides of the aisle pushed for her to be considered, but we'll see how things play out.

In any event, congratulations to Ms Miers and SMU!
