Miers answers "insulting"

Sen. Arlen Specter (Republican-PA) and Sen. Patrick Leahy (Democrat-VT), the leaders of the Senate Judiciary Committee have asked Harriet Miers to resubmit parts of her judicial questionnaire, calling her responses "inadequate," "insufficient," and "insulting."

This is a woman who is supposed to sit on the highest court in the land, where she will be expected to write opinions on matters relating to the Constitution, and she can't even answer a questionnaire?

This just reinforces my argument of 5 October: Miers is not qualified to sit on the Supreme Court of the United States.
