someone please break this down for me

So, we've confirmed Roberts, who has never been on the Supreme Court, as the chief justice. Fine. Now Bush has nominated White House counsel Harriet Miers for O'Connor's justice vacancy. Miers has never been a judge.

Explain to me how this part of the Globe article makes sense:
A senior administration official said the name of Miers came up in

Well, if she hasn't been a judge then she's got no record of rulings, and thus her discriminatory tendencies haven't been documented, which is good from the republican pov...although with the EXODUS info apparently they have.

VOMIT.

Ok, so thankfully that Exodus is not the same Exodus that she was involved with.
