Bush picks insider for Supreme Court

President George W. Bush on Monday nominated a member of his inner circle, White House counsel Harriet Miers, for a Supreme Court vacancy, choosing a woman with plenty of legal experience but who is not a judge to replace the retiring Sandra Day O'Connor.

Who really knows anything about Miers? Is she REALLY a judicial originalist, or another lib running under false colors? According to this AP report, there's a bit of contradictory political evidence.

In 1988, Miers, then a lawyer in private practice, donated $1,000 to Gore, the Tennessee Democrat then seeking the party's presidential nomination, according to Federal Election Commission reports. Gore eventually bowed out and Michael Dukakis secured the nomination.

In 2000, Miers contributed to the campaign of Texas Gov. George W. Bush, who was running against Gore that year. When the votes were still being counted in Florida and the outcome was in doubt, she gave $5,000 to the Bush-Cheney Inc. Recount Fund, according to the non- partisan Political MoneyLine.

Time will tell.

No thanks to 20+ Democrats who voted against one of the most qualified people (see record below) ever to sit on the Supreme Court, the Republican Senate approved Judge Roberts today. Remember that judges like Roberts would be filibustered if...

DeLay: Papers show I'm innocent

The case against Congressman Tom Delay (R-TX)is showing every sign of having as much substance as the case that Donk prosecutor Ronnie Earle tried to move agains Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchinson (R-TX). What a waste of time, money, and newsprint!

Rep. Tom DeLay says he has provided documents to prosecutor Ronnie Earle proving he did not hatch a criminal conspiracy, but admits he is "guilty" of "conspiring to defeat Democrats."

Mr. DeLay said that on the day he is accused of initiating a criminal conspiracy to break Texas campaign-finance law along with Jim Ellis and John Colyandro, he was neither in Austin, nor in phone contact with the two men.

Oh well, it gives the MSM and the Donks something to worry about.
