ANd that money she gave was in '88, 17 years ago for Pete's sake! She hasn't donated money to any democrat in 15 years!!! What's your explaination for that? Reagan was a Democrat and gave money to democrats too years ago, did you oppose him for President both times??? The fact that she gave money, when forced to by her law firm by the way, to a couple democrats, back when she was a democrat, an old democrat not a liberal democrat, is no kind of proof that she's not a conservative today. She was also Catholic back then too, and since then has converted to become an evangelical Christian. Whatever happened to, "Forget what you did before, what have you done for me lately?" Because lately, she's been a pro-life, very conservative, Evangelical Christian, with strong conservative constructionist beliefs. THAT is Miers today. You're opposing the 1988 Miers, and that woman doesn't exist today. You're opposing a ghost, not the reality that has just been nominated for the court. The person you're opposed to doesn't exist anymore. Look at the facts, and read the comments of the proven conservatives who are out supporting Miers. Stop basing your opinion on 15 year old points and supposition!
OK...can we look at her history?
Try THIS site to see some of her legal ideas...
I'll quote some, thanks to stellar...
" in 1990 Miers voted for a 7 percent property tax increase during her short tenure on the Dallas City Council"
"For instance, she apparently submitted the following report to the ABA's House of Delegates. Here are two of the report's recommendations:
Supports the enactment of laws and public policy which provide that sexual orientation shall not be a bar to adoption when the adoption is determined to be in the best interest of the child. ...
Recommends the development and establishment of an International Criminal Court."
Now...does THAT sound "Conservative"? Or is this in line with a Dukakoid/DemonRAT agenda?
Is this a Scalia/Thomas type Justice candidate? Or more like a Ruth Badder-Meinhoff Ginsburg/Souter/Stevens/Breyer type?
