"What makes you think Miers has not practiced "real law?"
Let's be fair. You are misconstruing my meaning. I said: "It is not always true, but great law firm managers have very often been lawyers who were not 'allowed to practice real law by the partners." That doesn't mean they didn't practice law at all; it does mean: they weren't the first ones you go to.
In context, it was not a putdown at all--or I should say, it was not intended as such.
I felt my post was reasoned.
I feel you may be overreacting.
I'm only asking questions.
Safe travel.
I think it has been a while since anyone went to Coulter for legal service, but what you imply about Miers does not seem to be fact.
