has allegedly vetoed several recommendations offered by conservatives to fill vacancies on federal courts.

Anybody who believes the above could be sold the Brooklyn Bridge in a heart beat.

As it is we still haven't seen any cases to get a good read of how the new justices will behave.

Guess we'd better just go ahead and impeach Roberts and Alito then. Miers helped pick them.

I'm lookin' for disinformation here. Don't think Harriet is a problem.

I was very strongly opposed to the Miers nomination. But it's impossible to tell whether this story has any basis or not.

The Alito nomination was more or less forced on the administration by the firestorm that the Miers nomination provoked.

Is Miers now resentful of what happened? Who knows?

White House Counsel Harriet Miers, the Supreme Court nominee who withdrew after a conservative revolt last fall, has allegedly vetoed several recommendations offered by conservatives to fill vacancies on federal courts.

Hmm. After getting thoroughly trashed by them, they expect her to cheerfully approve their recommendations...

Maybe I'm missing something.

We are to believe an anonymous source and dispose of Harriet Meirs?

I heard from confidential sources the two complaintants are RAT sympathizers. Of course, I cannot reveal my sources.

Miers is in the loop for sure, let's see what develops - at some point, specific names of possible candidates who were rejected will surface.

Interesting read, thanks for posting. I see some people still can't get over the huge revolt by conservatives concerning Harriett Miers.

I hear Karl Rove is going to use the judges issue to fire up the base, I wonder which base he is talking about? The base that actually wins elections for Republicans? Karl Rove knows who to turn to...:)
