Another misleading statement that the WH has been trumpeting too. She has been ranked as one of the top 50 most influential women lawyers, which is no surprise by virtue of her position alone. She has not been ranked one of the top 50 lawyers in terms of ability by an reputable publication.
Well one of the Chief "Supremes" from Texas supporting her, John Hill, was a Democrat and accoring to his bio is a member of the "American College of Trial Lawyers, International Academy of Trial Lawyers, International Society of Barristers..." The other Chief recently taught at SMU where Miers went to school *shock*.
