Indeed, in many ways, Ms. Miers resembles the early Sandra Day O’Connor, another elected official who backed some liberal positions during her time in the Arizona Legislature.

Legal scholars began referring to the “O’Connor Court.” Now, with Ms. Miers slated to take the O’Connor seat it may become the “Miers Court.”
