Thom Hartmann talking about Miers........ |
|
One thing we absolutely know is her complete loyalty to George W. Bush. Making the connection of a possible scenario in which Bush is charged with a crime, say for instance, the Plame case. He needs another ally should this ever come before the Supreme Court. Says she is a constant companion, even going to the ranch with Bush. Very interesting, should listen. Not to mention her part in the National Guard scandal.

4. Isn't that only in the case of financial ties? |
|
I mean, outside of both appointees being blatant paybacks for their personal loyalty to Bush himself, if he pops up before the SC, does that mean they must recuse themselves if he appointed them?

8. What's the scoop on her role w/National Guard? |
|
I just heard Thom's take on this as far as the possibility that * is hedging his bets in case he's charged with treason vis a vis Plame. Seems like a reasonable leap to me. But I didn't follow your reference to a National Guard scandal. Does this relate to Katrina? Just looking for more info. Especially if there's more ammunition we can use against this nomination...

Thanks for the welcome intheflow!
