"Law firms always give to both parties. It's called hedging your bet. "
So you're telling me she and her firm hedged their bets. Wonder who's side she would have been on if Gore had won. I suppose she would have stayed at Locke Liddell and sucked up to the Dems even more. I am glad to hear Miers hedges her bets. Thanks for bringing that to our attention.
Your welcome. Not just Miers though, ALL lawyers. That's why we hate them and our government is so screwed up. It's run mostly, by lawyers.
I found this interesting article on powerlineblog.com. It was written by Huge Hewitt. Good advice for us here to consider. Read this:
I'm glad to see Hugh Hewitt emphasize the need for mutual respect among conservatives in the Miers debate. The Bush "loyalists" and others who support the Miers selection should respect the right of disappointed conservatives to forcefully air their critique. Not only is this their right, but such commentary provides useful feedback to the administration about the sentiments of a portion of its supporters. At the same time, the critics should respect the expectation of the loyalists that the vote on Miers not be driven by disappointment or punitive considerations, but rather by an open-minded assessment of the options.
Finally, both sides should respect the good faith of the other, as we all try to sort through this messy situation. Not everyone who undertakes an open-minded assessment will reach the same conclusion, and it's fine to criticize reasoning and conclusions with which one takes issue. But calling fellow conservatives toadies, bed-wetters, or elitists, or telling them to just shut up, is immature and unhelpful. Let's leave that sort of thing to the left.
