7. I do. I haven't been let down but once or twice.
But there was a teaser last night that is gone today. New information about Plame leak and it said it was gonna break late. That one has me wondering if today is the day.

11. Justice Stephen Seuter interviewed on PBS TV.....
it is clear to me that Miers would be a kindergarten ignoramus among such high minds of Supremes. Seuter is such an outstanding intellect, gracious, non-pompous and fully educated about our Constitution. Miers should stay a bush a$$wipe for life. That's where she belongs.

16. Specter and Leahy

He nominated somebody who is not even remotely qualified for the court!

My gosh, she didn't even know anything about Griswold v. Connecticut.

25. What this is probably about: Meiers suspended from Texas Bar
Edited on Thu Oct-20-05 11:21 AM by jim3775

"Miers Also Suspended from Texas Bar

Yesterday, Harriet Miers revealed on a Senate questionnaire that she was suspended this year from D.C. bar for late payment of dues:

U.S. Supreme Court nominee Harriet Miers told the U.S. Senate on Tuesday her ability to practice law in the District of Columbia was briefly suspended this year because of nonpayment of bar association dues.


But she left out one thing. Miers was also suspended from the Texas bar for late payment of dues in 1989. She sent a letter to Pat Leahy today revealing her suspension and blaming it on an “administrative error.” You can read the letter HERE."
