Miers provided misleading information...
Edited on Thu Oct-20-05 12:19 PM by mshasta
Miers provided misleading information to Judiciary Committee

Miers gives wrong dates in questionnaire; Firm was sued during period omitted

President Bush’s nominee to the Supreme Court, Harriet Miers, provided erroneous and incomplete information to the Senate Judiciary Committee about her membership on a Board of Directors for a real estate investment company, RAW STORY has learned.

Miers also neglected to mention a class action lawsuit that accused the firm, Capstead Mortgage, of violating federal securities laws. The suit, which was later dismissed, came during the period Miers failed to include in her responses to the Senate questionnaire.

1. Do you think this was intentional so they have an excuse to
withdraw her nomination without looking like they made a mistake in the first place?

I fully expect Shrub to nominate someone even worse.

Thanks for the heads up!

13. Here's a link to the story. She omitted dates she worked for a firm.
It was being sued at that time. Oops!
