The year was 2005 and President George W. Bush was looking to nominate his second Supreme Court Justice. Her name was Harriet Miers. A close friend of Bush, her nomination came as both Democrat and Republican Senators suggested that his next nominee be from outside the appellate court system. What ensued was an utter disaster and embarrassment for Miers because he had no experience as a judge and was shaky during the Senate hearings.
