President Bush speaks during a news conference, Oct. 4, 2005, in the Rose Garden at the White House.(AP Photo/Ron Edmonds) Attacks on Bush's latest bizarre act (someone suggested an analogy with Caligula, which is becoming more and more appropriate with each passing day) from both left and right have been coming in hot-and-heavy. For the latest and most up-to-date info on his SCOTUS nominee, Harriet Miers, I strongly urge you to check out eriposte's The Left Coaster, where he says:
Who is Harriet Miers?
Given the criticality of this nomination and how it may determine the fate of Americans over the next 2-3 decades, I decided to create this page to consolidate key facts about Ms. Miers (her White House released biography is here. (As for what Senate Democrats should be doing, I recommend people read Markos' post, bill's post, and Steve's posts.
Miers' known history is catalogued here in several sections. I will update this page periodically.
SECTIONS
1. Politics
2. Cronyism
3. Legal Experience and Judiciary
4. Executive Power, National Security and Civil Liberties
5. Corporatism and Economic Issues
6. Socio-Cultural Issues
7. Law and Order and Civil Rights
8. Environmental Issues
9. Religion/Church-State
10. Other
There will be a lot more in the next few days, but this is a great place to begin. After you've checked out this info, then e-mail or call your Senators and tell them a vote for Ms. Miers is a vote against justice and equality.
