(Washington, DC) – The American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ), specializing in constitutional law said today that Harriet Miers, the nominee named by President Bush for a seat on the Supreme Court of the United States, is an excellent choice who represents the conservative mainstream of judicial philosophy of interpreting the Constitution, not re-writing it.
“Once again, President Bush showed exceptional judgment in naming Harriet Miers to the Supreme Court to replace Justice O’Connor,” said Jay Sekulow, Chief Counsel of the ACLJ, who argues regularly before the high court and has a pro-life protest case at the high court this term. “At a time when the high court is facing some of the most critical issues of the day – including a number of cases dealing directly with abortion and life issues – the person who replaces Justice O’Connor is critical. Harriet Miers is an excellent choice with an extraordinary record of service in the legal community and is certain to approach her work on the high court with a firm commitment to follow the Constitution and the rule of law. I have been privileged to work with her in her capacity as White House counsel. She is bright, thoughtful, and a consummate professional and I enthusiastically endorse her nomination.”
Sekulow added: “We look forward to a speedy confirmation process and will work aggressively to ensure that Harriet Miers gets full and fair consideration before the Senate. We call on members of the Senate to reject the partisan political rhetoric and focus on the judicial philosophy of this conservative mainstream nominee.”
Sekulow said the ACLJ will begin mobilizing a national campaign to ensure that Miers is confirmed. Sekulow said he will generate support for the nominee through his daily radio broadcast that reaches 1.5 million listeners, through his weekly television show, by using direct mail, phone calls, and emails to a list approaching one million supporters.
“We know the intentions of the liberal left – to do anything possible to derail this nominee,” said Sekulow. “We are prepared to meet those challenges head on and ensure that this battle ends with the confirmation of Harriet Miers as an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court.”
Led by Chief Counsel Jay Sekulow, the American Center for Law and Justice is based in Washington, D.C.

Harriet Miers
Boy, there is so much to make us worry when we read about Harriet Miers. She attends church, she is a Christian, she believes in the bible. She is loyal to President Bush and he to her. She never married, she cares for her aging mom, is close to her family. Goes to her nephews games.
Oh dear, this has to be a women with a grudge. I don't see how in the world W could have picked someone as terrible as this. I forgot she was a Dim in the 80's. It just freaks me out, how scarry this lady appears. Plus the fat Planned Parenthood is against her.
Ha. Guess giving money to Bush Sr.'s opponent was because somebody else made her do it. I'm sorry, but a law firm can't make anybody, not even a mail room clerk, donate money to any particularly political candidate. Dude is full of sheet. That kind of *loyalty* we can all do without.
