NZ Bear is calling for bloggers to note their position on Miers. So, for the record (as if it hasn’t been clear for some time):

I oppose the Miers nomination.

An aggregation page of the results is here.

I have made numerous arguments and statements about Miers, so shan’t give a new account here.

However, here are some highlights:

From my first long post on the subject:

I would like to see someone with a more intellectual disposition and background on the Court. I think that SCOTUS should be populated with thinkers. It is a place where we should seek to place our best legal minds. Indeed, on one level, I would prefer a brilliant liberal on the court than a mundane conservative.

As such, I remain unconvinced she is that type of person suited for this particular job.

Further, I find the cronyism charges to be valid:

The main resume point in her career that has gotten her to this point is that the President has known and worked with her for a decade or so. That is not a very good reason or process for appointing Justices to the Supreme Court of the United States.

Additionally, George Will gets it right here on the issue of what proper jurisprudence should look like and the idea of results-oriented appointments should be anathema to what thinking conservatives had been seeking for the Court.

And, in her response to the the Bear’s request, Ann Althouse (also in opposition) states the following, which resonates well with my own position:

What I do require is demonstrable analytical ability. I have seen no evidence of the level of ability that we have an obligation to demand from a Supreme Court justice. This is not a time to be nice or to give an unknown a chance. It’s a lifetime appointment. President Bush made a terrible choice, and Miers did not decline. I was willing to wait for the hearings to make a final call, but the handling of the nomination has been so abysmal: the botched questionnaire, the bolstering with religion, the lack of any coherent defense in the face of weeks of criticism. It’s just too much! End it, already!

I second that.
