this is how they want you to read it "How Miers defrauded investors" (regardless of the validity of the contents)

Leave it to WorldNetDailey to slander Miers for something that happened prior to her joining.

Miers was Co-Managing Partner at Locke Liddell & Sapp, LLP from 1998-2000.

WND writes "In 1997, when Erxleben's scheme was in full swing, the Austin Business Journal wrote..."

Con scheme in 1997. Miers joins firm the next year. WND blames Miers.

...sheesh...

You know with all the love, support and factual reporting done on Miers I can not imagine why people ask not to be considered for SCOTUS.

I believe she joined the firm long after the fraud, and left in disgust in 2001 because of it.

I'm sorry, I thought I read this:

Still, she was supposedly "on watch" as the firm's co-manager when Erxleben perpetrated his fraud through Locke Liddell. In the press quotes of the time, Harriet Miers was typically the spokesperson for the firm.

This piling-on has gotten out-of-control. I'm not thrilled with Miers either, but let's stck to logic, not scurrilous garbage like this. Pathetic.

She would certainly have handled press releases on that case...that came out **after** the 1997 con.

But her firm didn't join with Liddell Sapp until 1998 (then she was made "Co-Managing Partner").

I actually AM shocked, this is a real low blow. I guess there really isn't that much of a difference between the diehards of either party, is there...

And she is consistently presented as a 14 hour a day, detail and procedure obsessed workaholic.

World Net Daily has become as shrill and absurd as Lew Rockwell.

This shabby charge is crap. Sell it to Raimando.

Haven't you been reading the descriptions of her ? That is how her law firm tenure is described.

Has the Destroy Miers camp finally jumped the shark?

Wow, WorldNetDaily really, really, REALLY does not like Harriet Miers. I make no comment as to the voracity of their claims, this article, but it's another in their stream of attack articles about Miers. Next we'll likely read that WorldNetDaily reveals that Miers used to have four legs but two were surgically removed in a South American private hospital.

Err, something equally up-in-negative-volume about Miers.

Old news, and Meirs had no part in any of it (she was a litigator, not a securities lawyer), and it is a rather crude attempt at guilt by association, which even Biden won't be dumb enough to bring up at the hearings. Cheers.

Simply do not patronize World Net Daily.

It is simply the case that some out there wanted this big fight in the Judiciary committee over a big name known conservative.
Bush actually is putting in someone who would be conservative for sure because he personally has known her for 14 years.

That's a very telling typo there. WND's claims are indeed voracious (ravenous, eager to consume), LOL, but their veracity (truthfulness) is another question entirely.
