Miers on gay adoption.....
This, from the New Republic:
http://www.tnr.com/etc.mhtml?pid=2832

"For instance economic conservatives pleased by her corporate law background may find it distressing that in 1990 Miers voted for a 7 percent property tax increase during her short tenure on the Dallas City Council. And Miers's long affiliation with the ABA will serve up lots of interesting tidbits that are unlikely to please social and legal conservatives. 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."

2. Maher theorized...
...that Bush had nominated the first gay Supreme Court justice with Roberts. The clincher was a photo of Roberts posing with two moustachioed/tanned guys and some sort of baked seafood dish. Maher: "Only gay men pose with food."

Maybe Miers will be his second (60 something, never married, gay friendly decisions...)

:rofl:

8. I remember the book "real men don't eat quiche"
from the early 1980's. It was hilarious.

I'm not gay, but I do like (and even make) quiche.

So there.

3. That's pretty cool, actually.
I may agree with little that comes out of the woman's mouth, but that's pretty cool.

:thumbsup:
