Miers' tenure running the lottery was the only time that it wasn't plagued with troubles. If problems cropped up, she took care of them. I hate the lottery but it wasn't ridden with scandals when she ran it.

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.
Here we go again. Didn't Dan Rather just say he wanted to take another shot at Bush's TANG service?

The crooks no doubt hated her and still do...
