"Harriet Miers is a capable lawyer, a hard worker, and a kind and generous person [...], a careful and fair-minded listener."
A capable lawyer who is careful and fair-minded does sound like positive characteristics.
Mr. Frum further goes along to say that "she is not the person to lead the court in new directions". That should sound good to the conservatives, who have coined the supposedly deragotory term "an activist judge", which Harriet Miers seems not to be, according to this description.
But she is definitely a crony.
In any case, this says little about her actual ideology (even fair-minded people usually have one) besides that she is probably a conservative, given her with for Bush administration.
