"a female trailbrazer", cnn saying 'from the Pres. on down'-Miers is

[rodeodance]

being praised as such.

[rodeodance]

1. she also pushed to cut taxpaper funding for abortions.

[rodeodance]

2. 'not a hard core conservative" says cnn.

[rodeodance]

3. Frist welcoming miers--"a women who understands 'judicial restraint'

[rodeodance]

5. my picky complaint-too much jewerly--looks junky.

[_ed_]

4. I heard her called a "minority" on MSNBC

The talking head said, "The President has picked a minority candidate..."

Minority? Maybe I'm a little cloudy on that term, but I don't think a white woman from Texas qualifies as a minority. Aren't women a statistical majority in America?

Just another example of the MSM shaping the argument for the White House - like your "trailblazer" comment. Absurd.

[rodeodance]

6. actually, on of the cables was saying the dems upset cause she is NOT

a minority. i do not know where that came from.

[rodeodance]

7. Specter wants her confirmed by Thanksgiving.

[rodeodance]

8. onto the Dem welcoming committee (soon)--as she is making the rounds

on the Hill now.

[_ed_]

10. Yeah - it's really strange

I understand that replacing a woman with a woman is probably a good thing, consdiering that all but one of the other justices are men, but a "minority?" Come on...

9. What did she "trailblaze"? Did they mention anything ?

[Binka]

11. In Portland She Played Point

:evilgrin: They probably mean she has a slash and burn mentality(they are giving away too much and they don't even KNOW it.) Love how Frist and the other fuckers are talking about her "restraint." Code speak for Strict Motherfucking Constructionist. I wonder if she is a Federalist?

[Missy M]

12. She certainly didn't trail blaze slash and burn, that has been around....

forever. Republicans love the word "restraint", too bad they don't practice it.

[Binka]

13. Whatever...We Can Bet She'll Be... "Burnin Down The House"

Apologies to the "Talking Heads." I know it would KILL all of you to think your wonderful music was associated with this FREAK!

[rodeodance]

15. Frist is such a gush!!

[Binka]

16. Indeed He Is. And He Is A Fuckwittage Too.

[rodeodance]

14. something about leading the Bar.

[Missy M]

17. She was the first female president of the Texas Bar Association....

so I guess they will hang their hats on that for her trailblazing.

[mcscajun]

18. Here's her "firsts" list.

In 1972, Ms. Miers became the first woman hired at Dallas's Locke Purnell Rain Harrell.

In March 1996, her colleagues elected her the first female President of Locke, Purnell, Rain & Harrell, at that time a firm of about 200 lawyers. She became the first female to lead a Texas firm of that size.

* In 1985, Ms. Miers was selected as the first woman to become President of the Dallas Bar Association.

* In 1992, she became the first woman elected President of the State Bar of Texas. Ms. Miers served as the President of the State Bar of Texas from 1992 to 1993.
