What a bunch of crap. This article tries to paint Miers as legislating from the bench when in fact the veto is anything but that.
If she had petitioned the court to legislate then that would be something BUT she petitioned the Governor, an elected official to use his constitutional power to veto.
Freepers who glom unto this obviously twisted view should refrain from calling themselves freepers.
Exactly. Miers wasn't on the bench but was writing in her capacity as former president of the State Bar of Texas. As a useful background, note that much of Texas politics -- especially the Democrat party -- is heavily run by trial attorneys. The trial attorneys didn't want the Republican-heavy courts from limiting their fees.
