I loved your piece on Mike Pence. He is the next Reagan.
AMEN BUMP!!
Humm. First I heard of this, and I thought I had followed all these threads. Practicing law without a license, eh? And presumably putting the cases she argues on behalf of the President at risk.
I guess we can put it in the same basket as getting liens on a bunch of vacant lots that her father had left her, because she couldn't be bothered to reply to legal summonses, still less clean up the weeds and trash on them.
Practicing law without a license is not a good sign of a focused mind.
On second thought, now I have a good argument for Harry Spiers.
The President has correctly refused to release the records of Miers's dealings on his behalf because, he says, he invokes the lawyer-client privilege of confidentiality.
Now Harry can come back and say, "W, old buddy, you can't plead confidentiality if your lawyer has no license to practice. In that case, it just becomes a conversation between old friends--maybe even cronies. We want to see those records!"
Miers has a fiduciary responsibility to her client which, it appears to me, she has failed through neglect.
Reid.
In the end, President Bush and Miss Miers have a tough and unenviable decision to make, but they need to pull the plug on this nomination.
Who cared what Specter the RINO says?

Earlier this year, I received notice that my dues for the District of Columbia Bar were delinquent and as a result my ability to practice law in D.C. had been suspended. I immediately sent the dues in to remedy the delinquency. The non-payment was not intentioned, and I corrected the situation upon receiving the letter.
The DC Bar has to get their cut, donchaknow.
You can register a compliant with the D.C. Bar.

Miers quickly replied, writing that she would comply with the new request. She also wrote that "as a result of an administrative oversight," her Texas law license was suspended for 26 days in 1989 because of unpaid dues. On Monday, Miers disclosed that her D.C. law license was briefly suspended last year because of unpaid annual dues.Senators Assail Miers's Replies, Ask for Details
Q11(a). Bar and Court AdmissionPlease explain in greater detail exactly when, and under what circumstances, you were suspended from the D.C. Bar for non-payment of dues. Include any documentation, notices from the Bar, cancelled checks, or correspondence, which would help us understand the facts and circumstances of your suspension. Also inform the Committee whether, during the time of your suspension, you appeared in any courts in the District of Columbia.
No need for the president to waste more Capital on the lopsided coming defeat.
There are 17 nominations pending.
Sinkspur the same "up or down" courtesy doesn't extent to them.
I registered my complaint with my Senators and the RNC. But thanks for the DC Bar contact information anyway.
I think it happened twice, once in Texas and once in DC, that Miers forgot to pay the dues.
The facts will determine my support for this appointment.
This article is a rehash of the disappointment some have felt, but it offers no new facts.
My list will include those in her favor and those against her appointment.
Last week brought forward a few facts that did not look good for her: affirmative action andTexas Lottery scandal.
I have not had anything added to her resume and prolife position which occupy the "pro" side of my fact sheet.
Talk to Frist. I don't set Senate rules.
As a writer, my computer has...
Stop right there.
LOL!
