Harriet Miers Nomination

October 17, 2005 | ISSUE 41•41

Bush's Supreme Court nomination of Harriet Miers, his longtime associate and current White House counsel, continues to draw criticism. What do you think?

It just goes to show that, in America, anybody can grow up to be a lavishly rewarded sycophant of the president.

Landon Miles

Hey, the president has to go with who he knows, and apparently he was too busy Hoovering up Bolivian marching powder in his Ivy League schools to make any valuable contacts there.

Anna Green
Systems Analyst
We should all just feel grateful that Bush apparently doesn’t have a favorite TV show that features any lawyers.
