10 Reasons I Like Harriet Miers
My apologies to Don Surber, whose ten reasons you should read first.
Ten reasons I like her:
1. She is not a judge. When it needs repair, I always take my car to a dentist; the engine comes out real shiny.
2. She is over 6 years old. Those preschoolers just don’t have the patience to sit on the SCOTUS.
3. She beat the attempt to turn the ABA into an adjunct of NBA. She knows her basketball leagues. “Is there a Doctor J. in the house.”
4. Miers has worked at the Dallas law firm of Locke Purnell Boren Laney & Neely since 1972. Employed. Never burdened the taxpayers by collecting one dime of unemployment insurance. She also always returned her borrowed books to their law library. Integrity.
5. She is a human being. Say what you like about whales, dolphins, and the collective intelligence of social insects. Call me a species-ist, but I want a genuine homo sapiens for this job.
6. She was a Democrat. Opportunistic disloyalty.
7. She looks like Emperor Palpatine. No chance of Clarence Thomas chatting her up with lewd innuendo while in chambers.
8. Miers represented such clients as Microsoft and Walt Disney Co. Loves monopolistic companies that unfairly dominate their markets. Should be good on anti-trust cases.
9. She is not a ham sandwich. Probably could not be indicted by Ronnie Earle.
10. She is for GBLT rights. Trendy.
UPDATE XXVII: Cafe Oregano has a fresh take on this: “The fact is that I am not qualified to endorse or detract the nomination. I trust my President, and I will yet trust his nomination of Harriet Miers Ham Sandwich.”
Bush: Miers’ Religion is Cool!
A show of hands, please
Can the Dems hold their fire?
Not Just Leaving a Mark, but breaking bones
I am done with Bush
