"Now we're finding out she supported and helped Michigan University affirmative actions case. Wonderful.'

Well not only that but affirmative action plan for dallas fire department, and the creation of a women's studies lecture series (read marxist feminist) at SMU:

"Miers' time on Dallas City Council provides some insight"
Miers was one of 10 Dallas council members to unanimously approve a 1989 agenda item that revised minimum height, weight and vision requirements for Dallas firefighters to facilitate "promotion of certain ranks in the Fire Department," particularly women.

The agenda item's title: "Implementation of Fire Department Affirmative Action Plan."



It is very interesting. Which goes hand in hand with this:

In the late 1990s, as a member of the advisory board for Southern Methodist University's law school, Ms. Miers pushed for the creation of an endowed lecture series in women's studies named for Louise B. Raggio, one of the first women to rise to prominence in the Texas legal community ...Ms. Miers, whom President Bush announced on Monday as his choice to fill the Supreme Court seat being vacated by Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, not only advocated for the lecture series, but also gave money and solicited donations to help get it off the ground ... A feminist icon, Gloria Steinem, delivered the series's first lecture, in 1998.

Wow ... she promoted standards that enabled women to hold positions of authority in the DFD ... ooooh ... she must be a communist!

Wow ... she supported the establishment of an endowed lecture series in women's studies!!!!! ooooh ... that's EEEEEEEvil!

I'm sorry ... this is silly. What, do some conservatives expect her to be a woman-hater and obstructionist, attempting to silence women and keep them out of leadership positions, in order to prove conservative credentials.

Regarding SMU ... that IS a private institution, you know.
