MIERS FOUND CHRIST, TURNED REPUBLICAN

By 1979, Harriet Miers, then in her mid-30s, had accomplished what some people take a lifetime to achieve. She was a partner at Locke Purnell Boren Laney & Neely, one of the most prestigious law firms in the South.

But she still felt something was missing in her life.

The NEW YORK TIMES is set to splash the "something" on Page Ones on Wednesday, newsroom sources tell the DRUDGE REPORT.

It was after a series of long discussions with Nathan Hecht, a junior colleague and sweetheart, that led her to a decision that many of the people around her say changed Miers life.

"She decided that she wanted faith to be a bigger part of her life," Hecht said. "One evening she called me to her office and said she was ready to make a commitment," to accept Jesus Christ as her savior and be born again, Hecht said.

Bush is laying a trap designed to show just how intolerant the leftists are.

Gee. What a surprise. Could it be that Bush actually knows this woman better than Reid, Pelosi and Bill Kristol?

That's exactly what happened to me 20 years ago.

But if you ever gave money to a Democrat, you can never be a trusted Republican. (/sarc)

This should take care of the Dimorat support she had.

On RKBA, Miers is way stronger than Bork--or any other nominee since Brandeis.

Now we shall see who the anti-Christians are on both sides of the fence.

"Her judge-friend also says that she treats the Constitution just like she does the Bible- what is says is what it means. "

Great.

I'm glad we're basing support for lifetime appointments to the highest court of the land on hearsay evidence.

No.

But, I read Che Guevera's book on guerrilla warfare in high school.

Darn. I'll never get on the Supreme Court now.

Okay.

Based on a couple sentences.

Oh wait, she never has.

No matter what I can't get past someone donating to Algore.

There are just some things you can't take back or forgive.

Some try to Bring up Reagan as a comparative, but it is a different era.

Would have been easier just to nominate someone whose real beliefs are there for all to see. But instead we see the result of 'strategery'.

Ug. Gang of 14, RINO's.....no Brown......Ug. Two Stealth nominee's...right leaning court.....ug. Big battle for third pick....ug.

"Sorry, this just comes across as an attempt to get the criticism of miers to be toned down."

Yeah, you're right. Here's how it must have gone down. 20 years ago Rove anticipated this moment and talked Miers into flipping her life upside down so that she would be a more attractive Supreme Court nominee to weak kneed Donner Party "conservatives".
