Harriet Miers

[ConservativeMan55]

What do we know about her?

[bulldog905]

Bush knows her well, so I think we have to assume she is on the same wave-length.

[alessandrofiaschi]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooo

[Terpfen]

According to FNC, she was Bush's personal lawyer in 1985.

[SE Mom]

If this is true- there are going to be a LOT of unhappy people.

[Gipper08]

This is "one" of the "many" last straws.

[Clock King]

Lack of paper trail...

[Pirogue Captain]

Total BS! Argh!!!

[MDspinboyredux]

What's the problem with this pick??

[governsleastgovernsbest]

I've heard she's not staunchly pro-life, but how do we know this and what do we know about her?

[Cboldt]

Wonder if this is a head fake. If not, she fits the "Roberts" mold as in not being a high profile possibility.

[jdhljc169]

Pisses me off. Well, don't know that I will be voting next year.

Although this bio doesn't answer your question.

Yep! He might as well.

[safisoft]

I am not surprised. When we went to vote in 2000 we thought we were getting a Ronald Reagan Conservative. In 2004, we were merely content to keep a Kennedy liberal out of the White House. Now it seems to be confirmed:

When we elected and re-elected G.W. Bush, we got a younger version of his father.

Conservatism is officially dead in Washington DC.

[alessandrofiaschi]

She donated to the DNC and ALGORE for President!

Everyone else is a Texan or her boss.

SHE CAN'T BE THE NEXT ASSOCIATE JUSTICE!

F&F indicating Miers not a strong pro-lifer, ala Condi.
