George Will's column on Harriet Miers ("Can This Nomination Be Justified?") is well worth reading. My favorite paragraph is probably the mildest:

The wisdom of presumptive opposition to Miers's confirmation flows from the fact that constitutional reasoning is a talent—a skill acquired, as intellectual skills are, by years of practice sustained by intense interest. It is not usually acquired in the normal course of even a fine lawyer's career. The burden is on Miers to demonstrate such talents, and on senators to compel such a demonstration or reject the nomination.

All in all, the best reporting and commentary on the Miers nomination is coming, not surprisingly, from the right. The National Review has a lot of good stuff, especially on David Frum's blog. Frum also deserves credit for raising Miers's name as early as July 4, although, he now concedes, he was "mostly joking."
