ON MIERS: If you loved Brownie at FEMA, you'll one on Supreme Court

[yurbud]

This pick is just about cronyism and Bush covering his ass. Since she has been White House counsel, she was probably complicit to some degree in Bush's crimes like the torture policy, propaganda, war lies, and the rest.

Our message to the Senate should be simple:

DON'T RUBBERSTAMP UNQUALIFIED CRONIES

[MrBenchley]

1. By the way, as pResident Fucko's personal lawyer...

It means she's up to her ass into the question of where this corrupt drunk was when he didn't turn up in Alabama...as well as what happened to the paperwork about that.

And there's very little else to ask her about since she's never been a judge...unless you want to count

--the insider trading at Harken energy...

--the crooked Texas Rangers baseball deal...

--pResident Fucko's arrest record and how he got a new Texas driver's license...

[yurbud]

2. Did anybody ask corporate questions of Roberts?

Somebody ought to ask how a clerks note on court decision granting corporations 14th Amendment protection is worth being a legal precedent.

[MrBenchley]

4. No, and they should have...

But then Roberts DID have a record as a judge to discuss...

[stellanoir]

3. Given the crimes of this misadministration

she should be rejected on the grounds of a potential conflict of interest. But that'll never happen. We're so screwed.

5. Meirs investigated Bush's "alleged" AWOL status in 1998

GEORGE W. BUSH'S EARLY YEARS


Bush first became concerned about his alleged AWOL status in 1998, when he was running for a second term as governor, about allegations that he was given preferential treatment to land a slot in the Air National Guard. So he retained an attorney, Harriet Miers who was paid $19,000 to investigate the issue. She and her aides concluded that Barnes had helped Bush land a slot in the Air National Guard in 1968 after being lobbied by Adger. Miers spoke with Barnes who acknowledged that he had never talked to Bush’s father about asking for the favor. Adger was already deceased, and since that time Barnes passed away. Bush knew that he was off the hook.

Bush left his Texas Air National Guard assignment and moved to Alabama in 1972, even though the Air Force denied his request for a transfer. Bush did not even ask for an official transfer until nine days after he moved to Alabama in May 1972. The Air Force quickly rejected Bush’s request, saying the fighter pilot was “ineligible” to move to the Alabama unit. Nevertheless, Bush stayed in Alabama until his Texas commanders finally gave him written authorization five months later to train there. (South Mississippi Sun-Herald, February 11, 2004)

6. That the freakin' Senate will rubber-stamp unqualified cronies is certain

as the sun rising in the east.
