TO BORK VS. TO MIER [Kathryn Jean Lopez]
Yesterday on air Hugh Hewitt suggested to me that we here were trying to Bork Miers. No. This is new SCOTUS verb time. Andrew Breitbart just came up with over IM:
to MIER: to put your own allies in the most untenable position possible based upon exceptionally bad decsion making.
Secondary defintion:
While steadlily going in reverse in the driveway of your own home, intentionally abruptly pressing gas pedal as to crash into garage door for no apparent reason.They'll be teaching this in AP Government classes before long.
ONE MORE: "TO MIER" [Kathryn Jean Lopez]
Getting used to everyone hating you except your core supporters and thinking what the hell, it'd be cool to see what it's like to have everyone hate you at same time.

I LIED...ONE MORE... [Kathryn]
In case you've moved beyond the reasoning stage and have turned to HBomb-like mockery (still Breitbart):
to mier: The rare, delayed effect of having both fallen off your mountain bike multiple times and having passed out while eating pretzel. Usually results in the hiring of your personal attorney to the highest court in the land. Was also once reported in the Andes Mountains.Posted at 02:45 PM
TO BORK VS. TO MIERS [Kate O'Beirne]
This one we can put to rest. I asked the world's expert on the meaning of "to bork" - Is Harriest Miers being borked? "No. No one is lying about her record." --Robert Bork, October 13, 2005.

I'll try to use it in a sentence:
"I Miersed and now my wife has to choose between feeding the kids and bailing my sorry butt out of the slammer."
???
actually the usuage would be "to get miered."
Definition: being offered a new opportunity and getting turned on by your supposed allies and having them resort to kindergarten name-calling because you're not hoity-toity enough for them.
My favorite: (baseball) To choose your team's starting pitcher from a list provided by the other team's manager.
Back in the 1970s in Los Angeles Tommy Lasorda used to do the same thing, but we called-it CharlieHough-ing. As in, "With Reggie Jackson due up at bat, Lasorda decided to CharlieHough the World Series."
The bulk of the kindergarten name-calling was coming from the administration. "Elitist", "sexist", and so on. What made it all the worse is that this is obviously the Tourette's Syndrome of Supreme Court nominations, to a person who holds conservative principles above loyalty to the GOP.
Sounds more like MIERED to me......
I should clarify my definition to a more general usuage:
getting miered - being turned on by supposed friends and allies.
Are you asserting that it's a religious obligation to support Miers if you're Christian?
Some have no shame.
Here's one...To Miers - To prevent a Supreme Court nominee from getting a full up or down vote in the Senate.
According to the reports, that was in 1979, unless you have different information.
26 years...That is a lifetime for many!
Whew the right wing DC media bubble are showing themselves for what they really are, petulant snobs.
Sweet one.
