I have an uncle who served three terms as a municiple court judge. I asked him what's the most important trait for a judge? Knowledge of the law? Compasion? Objectivity? Detachment?

His answer: "Judgement".

She is probably a very nice person. She probably knows the law. We know she's a evangelical Christian (why is that important for her when discussion of religous beliefs was verboten for Roberts?). We know she's loyal. We know she was a city council member. Etc...

But, we don't know anything about her judgement.

Because she has no decisions to review, the only way to assess that is to ask how she would rule in certian instances. Roberts was probably coached to not respond to these questions and Miers is likely to follow the same tact. So, we'll not gain any insites into her ability to judge.
