So it's OK if she accuses people of being sexist when she knows damn well it's not so?

I am NOT one of those NOW women but I do see a scent of sexism in the accusations.

As another FR posted that if Miers was Harry Myers, former President of the Texas State Bar, former head of a large, powerful law firm in Texas and the President's chief counsel, that it is doubtful that old Harry Myers would have any problems with critics. Unless of course his hair, make-up and fashion sense were a disaster.

Then please be specific. Because for the life of me I can't see where a group of people who oppose Miers can be sexists if those same folks avidly supported other female judges for the SCOTUS nomination.

If George W Bush or any other President nominated "Harry Myers", his counsel who had never been a judge and had no record relevant to the job, he would be laughed out of town.

If Harriet were a man, she would not have been considered for five seconds.
