If you could go back in time, Miers or Alito? [View all]

Would you want Harriet Miers, arguably less qualified than Samuel Alito but arguably more moderate than Alito? Or would you want Alito over Miers? I'm not giving any other options, because the objective of this poll is to see should the Democrats have let Miers be confirmed in 2005/2006?
