I would have preferred that the nominee be something other than Yet Another White Male. Diversity on the high court is extremely valuable, as we all view facts and truth through the prism of our own experience.
A conservative was expected. I would have liked that conservative to be someone other than YAWM...
With Bush picking Miers, who was widely viewed as unqualified, it gives the impression that there are no qualified conservative women available for appointment to the high court. That's a huge slap in the face to the many women out there that could have filled that appointment and been an excellent choice.
