Green-Eyed Monster?

Associate Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor knows the ugly feelings that have up until now been the sole province of Bush-era White House Counsel Harriet Miers. When President Obama nominated Solicitor General Elena Kagan to the Supreme Court, Miers' status as the least-qualified female Supreme Court nominee ever was placed in serious jeopardy. Now Justice Sotomayor joins Miers as her title of least-qualified female Supreme Court justice ever may be eclipsed by Kagan also.

OK, OK, "least qualified female nominee" and "least qualified justice" are kind of harsh things to say. Let's go with Miers as the fourth-best qualified female Supreme Court nominee ever and Associate Justice Kagan as the third-best qualified female Supreme Court justice ever.
