Towards a Miers Debate Taxonomy

OK... this is very anal. I've got the disease.

I am currently taking my extensive list of Miers Arguments Pro and Con and working them into a proper Taxonomy, some categorization that might prove useful.

Here's what I have so far. Comments and suggestions welcome:

• Record - Record in the community.
• Positions - Political, social or legal positions.
  
• Philosophy - Legal philosophy
  
• Aptitude - Abilities, skills and talents.
  
• Reputation - Standing, name and character among colleagues etc...
  
• Personality - Personal behavior and qualities.
  
• President Bush - Arguments related to the President
  
• Political Context - Arguments related to political circumstances
  
• Nomination Context - Arguments around the SCOTUS nomination process and history.
  
• SCOTUS Context - Arguments around the Supreme Court itself.
  
• Party Context - Arguments around the Republican party
  
• "The Base" Context - Argument concerning the base of supporters
  
• Other

I've updated the list for today's relevant arguments. I really thought we were at the end of any valid arguments but two new ones came up today:

PRO: Seeing the Miers pick as an enhancement to the court, a "portfolio" pick.
CON: Miers nomination degrades the court to political outcomes rather than rule of law.
