We need to find out if this represents her views, or perhaps the views of a committee that she chaired, and had to submit the report despite her disagreements with the opinions. Click the link to find the links to the actual reports.

Supports the enactment of laws and public policy which provide that sexual orientation shall not be a bar to adoption when the adoption is determined to be in the best interest of the child. ... Recommends the development and establishment of an International Criminal Court.
Until I see FACTUAL documentation and not an accusation from some blog, I'm calling b.s. on this claim.

She submitted the report alright, but like I said she might have been opposed to those findings. Conservative Senators need to ask:
To: Members of the House of Delegates
From: Select Committee of the House
Subject: Sneak Preview of 1999 Los Angeles Midyear Meeting Agenda
Date: October 28, 1998
As part of its ongoing effort to improve communication, the Select Committee of the House has prepared the attached report which includes information concerning issues that are being developed for presentation to the House of Delegates.
In most instances, these matters will likely be considered at the upcoming Midyear Meeting in Los Angeles. Where information was available concerning items being developed for later meetings of the House, that information has been included and is so noted.
The Committee urges all Delegates to review this list for items of interest to their constituencies, and to act as the catalyst for further contact and action so that each entity will have the earliest opportunity for consideration and input.
Please note that: 1) this list is tentative in nature; 2) the filing deadline for submission of reports with recommendations by Association entities and affiliated organizations is Friday, November 20, 1998; and 3) information as to what has actually been submitted will be forwarded to you as soon as possible after that deadline.
House of Delegates
October 28, 1998
The Committee expresses its appreciation to those who provided the information on which this report is based. We ask that you provide additional information on any new developments or issues to any member of the Committee or to Rochelle E. Evans at the American Bar Center. She can be reached at 312/988-5157.

Harriet E. Miers, Chair

and obviously loyalty to Bush trumped intellectual firepower. Ad hominem bovine excrement. Loyalty to President Bush and intellectual firepower are assumed by this quote to be mutually exclusive. Horse manure.

I checked out the links in the blog and concluded that you are being disingenuious in trying to blame Harriet Miers for POTENTIAL AGENDA ITEMS FOR THE 1999 MIDYEAR MEETING OF THE HOUSE OF DELEGATES OF THE AMERICAN BAR ASSOCIATION. Psssst: She wasn't even President of the Texas State Bar OR the Dallas Bar during this time.
In 1992, Harriet became the first woman president of the Texas State Bar, and in 1985 she became the first woman president of the Dallas Bar Association.
Trying to smear Harriet Miers with a guilt by association with POTENTIAL AGENDA ITEMS FOR 1999 of the American Bar Association is contemptable and you should be ashamed for rumor mongering.

Did I blame her for anything? No. So get off of your high horse, or is there a polcy a new policy at FR of not linking to posts that don't square with your views?

You're right. I owe you an apology. I'm just going nuts over the fear mongering going on here on FR about this nomination. I'm not crazy about the pick either, but this type of post doesn't do anything to shed true light on Harriet Miers but gives more fuel to Bush bashers who are ready to believe any and all things negative about Miers without examining whether or not there is any truth involved.
Sorry....

Thats ok, I am not sure what to think of the nomination. I was pissed this morning. I have now come to the conclusion that she is no Souter, but, she is also not going to be an intellectual conservative heavweight who will serve as a beacon to a generation of young conservative lawyers as Scalia has, which is too bad.

Finally, the Miers pick cements the idea that Bush is politically weak and scared of a major fight with Democrats.She may turn out to be Scalia Part II but this really does disappoint me.

For instance, she apparently submitted the following report to the ABA's House of Delegates. Context would be quite useful here. Does anyone other than those shrieking about Miers understand what is invovled in submitting said report? Is it the work of a larger committee? Would we know how Miers voted if it was part of a larger committee?
