Gag order lifted for ex-lottery boss claiming Miers kept 'lid' on Bush Guard controversy
WND - Oct 21/05 -Released from a gag order, Larry Littwin – the controversial former director of the Texas Lottery
under Harriet Miers – is free to appear at the upcoming Supreme Court confirmation hearings to give "potentially explosive" testimony damaging both to President Bush and his nominee, according to WND columnist Jerome Corsi.
As WorldNetDaily has reported, Littwin allegedly was fired by Miers because he wanted to investigate improper political influence-buying by lobbyists for GTECH, the firm contracted to run the lottery.

Bush's bastardized 'conservatism'
WND - Oct 21/05 - Indeed, something is changing and it's not George Bush. A rebellion appears to be brewing among conservatives. Not unpredictably, George Bush has hit them where it hurts – the Supreme Court – and, thankfully, this has been "the final straw," the title of a column by the brave Bruce Bartlett.

So She’s a Christian? William F. Buckley on Harriet Miers
NRO - Oct 21/05 - Fidelity to the Christian faith presupposes an attachment to equality. Muslim fundamentalism does no such thing. A member of the Communist Party would not be thought fit for the Supreme Court, and a Muslim would have to make his case by renouncing what many Muslims kill for, which is their interpretation of the sacred commission of the prophet.

The Right’s Woman Problem
It’s not a free grope, but it’s similar.
By Danielle Crittenden
NRO - Oct 21/05 - It doesn’t involve cigars or a stained dress. But the nomination of Harriet Miers has created a woman problem on the Right every bit as big as that which faced feminists during Bill Clinton’s presidency.
For years, conservative women’s groups such as the Independent Women’s Forum have opposed feminist visions of female equality. We opposed affirmative action in the workplace, believing women had to be held to the same standards as men. We rallied against quotas, with the reasoning that if there were fewer female firefighters than male, this was because women didn’t wish to take these jobs, and not because of discriminatory hiring practices by the fire department. We recoiled from the theories of Catharine McKinnon and other so-called “difference feminists” that women deserved special breaks because their personalities were said to be innately more intuitive and sensitive than men’s, and that the female sex is incapable of reasoning logically the way men do. We were disgusted with feminist groups when they stood by Bill Clinton through all his women troubles — when the National Organization for Women, for example, jettisoned all its previously stated principles on sexual harassment in order to retain political power.
Too Stealth
The Miers nomination might be the most catastrophic political miscalculation of the Bush presidency.
Republican presidents have long been drawn to the “stealth strategy” on judicial nominations, picking conservatives, or supposed conservatives, without a public record so it will be harder for Democrats to oppose them. In the John Roberts nomination, a modified stealth strategy reached its height, giving the Court what is likely to be a conservative chief justice for the next 30 years. In the Harriet Miers nomination, the stealth strategy has all but collapsed, producing what might be the most catastrophic political miscalculation of the Bush presidency.
In picking Miers, the White House out-stealthed itself.
Harriet Miers Nomination - SINKING, SINKING
The final straw (about George W)
From the conservative point of view, the list of grievances is a long one.
Oct 18, 2005
by Bruce Bartlett
Oct 18/05 - Wash - The truth that is now dawning on many movement conservatives is that George W. Bush is not one of them and never has been. They were allies for a long time, to be sure, and conservatives used Bush just as he used them. But it now appears that they are headed for divorce. And as with all divorces, the ultimate cause was not the final incident, but the buildup of grievances over a long period that one day could no longer be overlooked, contained or smoothed over.
From the conservative point of view, the list of grievances is a long one, dating back to the first days of the Bush administration.
-- One of President Bush's first actions in office was a vast expansion of education spending with little real reform in return. To conservatives, it has always looked like a transparent effort to buy off the so-called soccer moms. But rather than buy peace with the education lobby, it has simply led to continuous calls for still more education spending, despite the paucity of evidence correlating spending with achievement.

Is it Too Much To Ask that Bush would Nominate someone who has a Proven Track Record of being a true and real and GENUINE Conservative ?
Or is the Problem that Bush does not REALLY WANT a Conservative on the Supreme Court, especially if a True Conservative would HELP the American People and Help to secure the RIGHTS of the American People as the Declaration of Independence and the Bill of RIghts Provides ???
All these politicians claim to be "conservative" ...until they actually are supposed to support a true conservative...and then...surprise...they turn out not to be
true conservatives at all.
Harriet Miers is an Attorney for Oppressive Multinational Corporations !!
Most of the Corporations that Harriet Miers has worked for...Have taken American Jobs to China, where those same Corporations now support the Oppression of Chinese Christians.
Most of the Corporations that Harriet Miers has worked for...Have taken American Jobs to China, and have poorly repaid the Trust that American Workers had placed in those companies.
Most of those Multi-national Corporations pay their employees as little as possible, and are the enforcers of the Politically Correct Culture.
MOST of those Multi-national Corporations harm American Culture, American History, American values, and the Environment. Most Corporations favor their own power at the expense of the people.
Harriet Miers is an Attorney who worked to support Bush in the War on Terror (WoT) by taking away the rights of more and more Americans.
Harriet Miers is an Attorney who will support the USE and Introduction of MARTIAL LAW...for fake issues like "Bird Flu".
DID MIERS PUSH WOMEN INTO ACTIVE COMBAT ? (YES)
PREPARE YOUR DAUGHTERS IF MIERS CONFIRMED !
HEO - Oct 14/05 - As I reported in a series of articles in HUMAN EVENTS (here, here, here, here, and here), since 2004 the U.S. Army has been violating Defense Department regulations regarding the assignment of women in or near land combat. At issue are improper assignments of female soldiers to certain combat support units that collocate (operate 100% of the time) with infantry, armor and Special Operations Forces. Current rules require those units to be all male.
Women and Selective Service [DRAFT]
By permitting these illicit assignments, the Defense Department has circumvented a law requiring that it formally notify Congress approximately three months in advance of any such policy change. The law also requires an analysis of the effect such changes could have on the exemption of women from Selective Service registration. None has been provided.
There are only three explanations for this disappointing situation. As White House counsel, Miers either approved of the Defense Department’s improper assignments of women to units required to be all-male, without prior notice to Congress, or she was unaware of the long-term legal consequences of that practice, or she gave sound advice that the President did not heed.

Bainbridge Speaks out against Miers
UCLA - Oct 05 - "My conclusion? If confirmed, Harriet Miers will end up looking a lot like former Justice Lewis Powell. Very influential on the business law issues the Court decides, but hardly a constitutional law giant.
Does that mean I'm mellowing on the nomination? Nope. I admire Powell very much. but like Miers he was never a movement conservative and that's what I believe Bush promised us"

Bush pick - Miers - supported International Criminal Court, homosexual
adoptions, women in Active combat, tax hike
By Joseph Farah
WASHINGTON – WND - Oct 3/05 -Harriet Miers, President Bush's nominee to the U.S. Supreme Court to replace Sandra Day O'Connor, is on record as supporting the establishment of the International Criminal Court, homosexual adoptions, a major local tax increase and women in combat, WorldNetDaily has learned
According to Elaine Donnelly, president of the Center for Military Readiness, Miers has taken positions as White House counsel that violate the law banning women in combat.
"As White House counsel, Ms. Miers either approved of the Department of Defense's illegal assignments of women in units required to be all-male, which is still continuing in violation of the law requiring notice to Congress in advance, or she was oblivious to the legal consequences of those assignments," she said.
Donnelly believes the actions of Miers could lead directly to a future court ruling
requiring women to register with the Selective Service
for the draft because they are now being, against the wishes of Congress, assigned to land combat.
Supreme Court: Miers was a Democrat throughout the 1980s during the Reagan Revolution
WND - Oct 3/05 - Miers' record shows that in November 1988, the nominee gave $1,000 to the DNC Services Corporation/Democratic National Committee. In February of that year, she donated $1,000 to then-Sen. Al Gore's presidential primary race. And in March 1987, Miers gave $1,000 to the primary campaign of Democrat Lloyd Bentsen, who went on to become Michael Dukakis' running mate in the 1988 presidential election.
Beginning in 1990, Miers' political giving all went to Republicans or special-interest groups.

Within minutes of the nomination of Ms Miers last week, conservative blogs exploded with outrage, providing the first sign of serious conservative discontent over the choice of a woman with no track record on conservative issues, such as abortion, or experience of constitutional law.
Now the White House is trying to quell the revolt of the blogs: on Wednesday, Ken Mehlman, chairman of the Republican National Committee, reached out to the bloggers who have been leading the charge against Ms Miers in a conference call whose content appeared almost instantaneously on the internet.

Revised Miers strategy raises new questions
USA TODAY
Wed Oct 12/05
OCT 12/05 - When President Bush introduced Harriet Miers to the nation last week, his description of his Supreme Court nominee - that of a trailblazing female lawyer and a dedicated public servant - seemed designed to define her to Americans before any critics could.
During the past nine days, however, the White House's marketing of Miers has been thrown off track. Miers' lack of experience as a judge, her virtually non-existent paper trail on key legal issues and her closeness to Bush have led critics - notably fellow conservatives such as commentators George Will, William Kristol and Charles Krauthammer - to essentially cast Miers as an unqualified crony.

Withdraw This Nominee
By Charles Krauthammer
Friday, October 7, 2005; A23
...We've had quite enough dynastic politics over the past decades. (Considering the trouble I have had with Benjamin and William Henry Harrison, I pity the schoolchildren of the future who will have to remember who was who in the Bush-Clinton-Bush-Clinton presidential alternations from 1989 to 2017.) But nominating a constitutional tabula rasa to sit on what is America's constitutional court is
an exercise of regal authority with the arbitrariness of a king giving his favorite general a particularly plush dukedom.
The only advance we've made since then is that Supreme Court dukedoms are not hereditary.
It is particularly dismaying that this act should have been perpetrated by the conservative party. For half a century, liberals have corrupted the courts by turning them into an instrument of radical social change on questions -- school prayer, abortion, busing, the death penalty -- that properly belong to the elected branches of government. Conservatives have opposed this arrogation of the legislative role and called for restoration of the purely interpretive role of the court. To nominate someone whose adult life reveals no record of even participation in debates about constitutional interpretation is an insult to the institution and to that vision of the institution.
There are 1,084,504 lawyers in the United States. What distinguishes Harriet Miers from any of them, other than her connection with the president? To have selected her, when conservative jurisprudence has J. Harvie Wilkinson, Michael Luttig, Michael McConnell and at least a dozen others on a bench deeper than that of the New York Yankees, is scandalous.

WHAT EVIDENCE DO WE NOW HAVE THAT MIERS
DESERVES TO BE TRUSTED WITH A LIFETIME APPOINTMENT TO THE NATION’S HIGHEST COURT?
Until 2001, Miss Miers’ legal experience was as managing partner of a large corporate law firm. Corporate law, like several other areas of legal practice, does not generally involve constitutional issues. When it does, the lawyer does not educate herself on the issue beyond what is required to adequately represent her client.
QUESTIONS NEEDING ANSWERS:
Was Miss Miers’ corporate practice primarily transactional (contract writing and negotiations) or was it primarily litigation? How many of her cases involved constitutional issues? What were the issues? Did Miss Miers do most of the research and writing herself? Has she argued constitutional issues before a court? How many times? In what courts? In how many did she prevail? Are there any published opinions? If so, what are the case names and citations?
To which of the Founders was Miss Miers referring in her acceptance statement, and why?
What did Miss Miers mean when she promised to keep our judicial system strong and what would she do to accomplish that commitment?
Does Miss Miers believe that the Declaration of Independence is important to understanding the U.S. Constitution?
Is the Constitution the primary source of our rights?
Does Miss Miers believe that Supreme Court members should consider foreign law when interpreting the meaning of the U.S. Constitution?
It has been reported that Miss Miers’ favorite Supreme Court Chief Justice is Warren Burger. Why?
Has Miss Miers authored or co-authored any amicus curiae briefs that argued constitutional issues? If so, in which cases and courts?
All attorneys are required to attend and complete mandatory continuing legal education courses (M.C.L.E.). How many of Miss Miers' courses have been on the subject of constitutional law? If so, what were the subjects, what were the courses and dates of participation? Has Miss Miers instructed at an M.C.L.E. course on the subject of constitutional law?
Has Miss Miers spoken or debated on any subject of constitutional law, theory of interpretation, the role of the courts or separation of powers? When, where and on what subjects?
Is Miss Miers published on any subject of constitutional law? What are the publications, titles and dates of publication?
Has Miss Miers been a visiting lecturer on constitutional law in any law schools? When, where and on what subject?
It is reported that in the late 1990s when Miss Miers was a member of the advisory board for Southern Methodist University’s law school she helped initiate a women’s studies lecture series. The lecturers have been women who espouse a radical theory of feminism. Gloria Steinem delivered the series’ first lecture in 1998. In the following two years, the speakers were Patricia S. Schroeder, the former Democratic congresswoman widely associated with women’s causes, and Susan Faludi, the author of Backlash: The Undeclared War Against American Women (1991). Ann W. Richards, the Democrat whom George W. Bush unseated as governor of Texas in 1994, delivered the lecture in 2003.3
Has Miss Miers expressed any opinion about the dominance of feminist theory in the women's studies program? Does Miss Miers share the feminist theory that lecturers have presented? Has she disassociated herself from the lecture series or attempted to bring lecturers to the program that represent a traditionalist perspective on women? Why has she not participated as a lecturer?
Supporters of Miss Miers point to her work as president of the Texas Bar Association to influence the ABA to adopt a neutral stance on abortion. It did not. Until accepting a position as White House staff secretary in 2001, Miss Miers was still heavily involved in the ABA.4
Why did Miss Miers participate in a voluntary professional association whose amicus briefs do not consistently appeal to a textualist interpretation of the Constitution, which she has promised to do?
If Miss Miers does not support abortion, why did she continue in leadership positions in the ABA, which does support abortion? If she were not in her current position, would she continue to participate despite its opposition to a constitutional amendment banning same-sex marriage, its support of physician-assisted suicide, the International Criminal Court and requiring the Boy Scouts of America to allow homosexuals to participate as Scout leaders?

Bush Declines to Endorse DeLay's Comments about
JUDGES AND TERRI SCHIAVO
Fri Apr 8/05 - White House - AP
ABOARD AIR FORCE ONE - President Bush on Friday said he supports "an independent judiciary"
and declined to endorse comments by House Majority Tom DeLay that were critical of judges.
"I believe in proper checks and balances," Bush said.
The president, speaking with reporters as he flew to Texas from Rome, where he attended the funeral of Pope John Paul II, was reacting to statements made after the death of Terri
Schiavo.
DeLay, R-Texas, suggested an impeachment case could made against judges who rebuffed Congress' will in the Schiavo case. As the severely brain-damaged Florida woman faded, Congress passed a law allowing federal courts to review the decisions of state judges who turned down her parents' efforts to resume her feeding. But federal judges all the way up to the Supreme Court held up those decisions.
"The time will come for the men responsible for this to answer for their behavior," DeLay said when Schiavo died.

Oct 21/05 - Harriet Miers -- whose courtesy calls with senators in their Capitol Hill offices have been more chaotic than courteous -- has finished the tour, the White House has told congressional aides.
The meetings have been fraught with misunderstandings and disagreements, giving ammunition to detractors, both liberal and conservative, that Miss Miers is in over her head.
"No one is walking out of these meetings thinking they've just met with a
