She also has a record as being the tie-breaking vote to enact the largest ever property tax increase in that city's history.

BTW, I've attended public schools for my entire life.

If that's the best you can come up you need to try a bit harder.

No the president came up with more than that. I even posted it for you. You're taking the president out of context.

I'll post the full context -- again.

President Bush: For the past five years, Harriet Miers has served in critical roles in our nation's government, including one of the most important legal positions in the country, White House counsel. She has devoted her life to the rule of law and the cause of justice. She will be an outstanding addition to the Supreme Court of the United States. Harriet was born and raised in Dallas, Texas. She attended public schools. When illness struck her family during her freshman year in college, Harriet went to work to help pay for her own education. She went on to receive a bachelor's degree in mathematics and a law degree from Southern Methodist University. Over the course of a distinguished legal career, Harriet has earned the respect and admiration of her fellow attorneys. She has record of achievement in the law as well as experience as an elected member of the Dallas City Council. She served at high levels of both state and federal government.

Before state and federal courts, she had tried cases and argued appeals that covered a broad range of matters.

She's been a leader in the American Bar Association and has been recognized by the National Law Journal as one of the most powerful attorneys in America.

Harriet's greatest inspiration was her mother, who taught her the difference between right and wrong and instilled in Harriet the conviction that she could do anything she set her mind to.

Inspired by the confidence, Harriet became a pioneer in the field of law, breaking down barriers to women that remain even after a generation — remain a generation after President Reagan appointed Justice O'Connor to the Supreme Court.

Harriet was the first woman to be hired at one of Dallas' top law firms, the first woman to become president of that firm, the first woman to lead a large law firm in the state of Texas.

Harriet also became the first woman president of the Dallas Bar Association and the first woman elected president of the state bar of Texas.
