Great resume; she's perfectly suited to be "the first woman to chair the White House Wednesday afternoon Rotary Club meetings" - now cite her judicial philosophy for us, ok?

Whoops. She has none.

Bush Jr. has screwed us before with his "trust me" schtick, just like his dad's "read my lips" lie. Enough of that.

Uh-huh. She has done community service also: In 1989, she was elected to a two-year term as an at-large candidate on the Dallas City Council. She was a member of the ABA's House of Delegates during the 1980s and 1990s For example, while she served as President of the State Bar of Texas, Ms. Miers also logged 125 pro bono hours handling an immigration and naturalization case for Catholic Charities of Dallas. In addition to her service to the Bar and her pro bono commitments, Ms. Miers has served on the Executive Board for the Southern Methodist University School of Law and as a Trustee of the Southwestern Legal Foundation. From 1995 until 2000, Ms. Miers served as Chairwoman of the Texas Lottery Commission, a voluntary public service position she undertook while maintaining her legal practice and other responsibilities. When then-Governor Bush appointed Ms. Miers to a six-year term on the Texas Lottery Commission, it was mired in scandal, and she served as a driving force behind its cleanup. At 60 years of age, Miss Miers is hardly likely to drift from her conservative philosophy like Souter or O'Connell. She will keep the Constitution nailed down to its original intent. And, at 60 years of age, she has far more trial experience than Rehnquist.
