Many believe it was Harriet Miers's Spring 1993 speech to the Executive Women of Dallas that was the straw that broke the camel's back. She said:
"The ongoing debate continues surrounding the attempt to once again criminalize abortions or to once and for all
guarantee the freedom of the individual women's [sic] right to decide for herself whether she will have an abortion."
The use of the word "freedom", without qualifications, probably sent off sirens to the right wing crowd.

Harriet appeared to be a judicial lightweight when examined about experience. Bush exhibited PLS when he said she was the most qualified candidate. Just another example of a well documented case of how the man will say ANYTHING to get his way, with absolutely no vision of what the consequences might be. I am most certain that we have a spoiled little rich boy who is accustomed to getting his way on everthing, and who is now in charge of the country. I would like to say "running the country", but Shrub can do little more than run his butt around a running track.
Wizard: Everytime you write you make us glad you are a demo.
How do you know if Miers is qualified? Do you know her personally? Seen any of her work? Are you even qualified to judge?
What did Bush say to get his way?
What consequences? That we might get a court that would let kids pray in school.
Rich? How do you know that? Sold his share of the Rangers for a profit, does that make him a capitalist pig? (probably to a socialist like you) I don't know how much money he has but I know that he doesn't own a $6.5 million house in Utah like Kerry (he didn't marry a rich widow , either)
He hasn't made a $6 million book deal like Hill & Bill either. Does that make Hill and Kerry ineligible because they "spoiled" too.
And Barry: How much "freedom" does the aborted baby have. What a tragedy.
Wiz, yiue comments are easily supportred by existing public information. Anon 11:26 just throws up fluff and inconsequential comparisons. Fact is the presidents own religious right forced out his selection of Miers - for their own polictical reasons. They felt that she wouldn't be sufficiently reliable to vote agaist Roe. That's their litmus test - that Bush says doesn't exist. What hipoctites!
