Miers' law firm backed Hillary (uh oh, this will set the RWers spinning)

[MADem]

Supreme Court nominee Harriet Miers' law firm contributed $1,000 to Hillary Clinton's Senate campaign in 2000, Federal Election Commission reports show.

Locke Liddell & Sapp LLP PAC, the political action committee of the Houston law firm Miers co-managed, made the contributions on May 19, 2000, two days after Miers contributed $415.91 to the PAC.

The contributions were revealed over the weekend in an FEC response to a request by the conservative Republican Study Committee for Miers' campaign contributions, and detailed on the left-leaning worldnetdaily Web site.

The report is sure to roil an already sharply divided Republican Party. ...

1. I love the fact it will disturb the right, but ...

But that law firm's PAC goes both ways.

She was not a political person in the Dem-Pub sense, more in the I WANNA BE PRESIDENT OF THE STATE BAR sense.

In mid-life her existence was lacking, so she fell into evangelic religion. She worked with some groups that are closer to the fringe than I would like.

2. I'm not ready to read anything into it either, I just love the controversy

The more the RW gets their patooties in an uproar, the better it is for us. Let them spit and spew and get hysterical, on both sides of the issue, because half of them are guaranteed to come out on the wrong side, no matter what the outcome!

3. Far as I can see

if you can't get a judge who is actually impartial, the best you can do is one who is bipartisan...

I think this is funny as hell.
