Harriet Miers is all business
Bush's Supreme Court nominee does have a paper trail -- leading to major corporations.

http://www.salon.com/news/feature/2005/10/06/corporate_miers/index_np.html

The outcry has run the gamut: From an angry religious right to wary liberals and Senate Democrats, President Bush managed to please almost no one with his nomination of Harriet Miers for the nation's top bench. But as pro-lifers and pro-choicers alike search for some scrap of ideological evidence in Miers' record to soothe their fears or fan their ire, one heavyweight constituency is quietly relishing the pick: corporate America.

One thing Miers has left clear in an otherwise thin paper trail is that she built her career on defending large corporations.

3. NPR was discussing her this morning and they mentioned friends of hers
saying she was pro-business, a pro-corporate mentality.


No wonder she fits right in with this administration.
