So is this expected to offset her stance on civil rights for gays and lesbians, or their rights to adopt children? The more I read today, the more I'm convinced there may be another Supreme Court nominee in the very near future.
Do you have a link on this, because I would like to read up on this claim.
"So is this expected to offset her stance on civil rights for gays and lesbians, or their rights to adopt children?"
Clarification, and feel free to check the facts:
-- A local gay organization circulated a political questionnaire when Miers was a Dallas city councilwoman, asking candidates if they favored civil rights for homosexuals. Not special rights, just plain old civil rights. She, of course, said yes. All citizens are due basic civil rights. There is simply nothing controversial about that.
-- She never backed gay or lesbian adoption. The rumor that she did comes from an ABA conference agenda that listed gay adoption and the international criminal court as discussion topics.
I don't know about you, but I've been in plenty of meetings where controversial topics were discussed. My presence did not indicate my approval of either viewpoint.
There's too much misinformation out there right now. Let's be careful to check our facts.
Here's some interesting pro and con from a Houston lawyer who writes an articulate blog. You might want to read his posts since Miers' nomination was announced. He is very thorough and doesn't just give his opinions but also specifics and details to back them up.
