the 'policy' phrase is not a quote of Miers intentions. 

Really? How about this quote later in the article? "Walter Sutton, a black lawyer Miers named to one of the four slots during her tenure, said she was 'passionate' about the program."

Tell me, why on earth wouldn't Jo Becker and Sylvia Moreno get Ms. Miers input directly on her position of goals instead of interviewing everyone one elses interpretation?

Miers is not speaking to the press prior to the confirmation hearings. Moreover, this article is a WaPo positive spin on Miers, that is, it is generally an advocacy piece because she favored racial and gender quotas.

That is a quote of Ms. Miers stating that 'Miers' created quotas?

Surely you jest!

Implying that Ms. Miers 'created' quotas is a posititive spin?

You are really reaching.

Enjoy your day! Ciao!

With friends like that, who needs enemies? Heralding Miers as a quota supporter is not being her "advocate". Get real!
