Harriet’s Adventures

Miers apparently filled out a questionaire pertaining to her beliefs on issues of “gay rights”.

UPDATE: Miers Backed Gay Civil Rights

Supreme Court nominee Harriet Miers went on record favoring equal civil rights for gays when she ran for Dallas city council, and she said the city had a responsibility to pay for AIDS education and patient services.

But Miers opposed repeal of the Texas sodomy statute  a law later overturned by the court on which she will sit if confirmed  in a survey she filled out for a gay-rights group during her successful 1989 campaign.

The survey by the Lesbian/Gay Coalition of Dallas provides a hint of Miers’ thinking on homosexual rights issues that could come before the court. Although she came to a coalition meeting to answer questions during the campaign, she said at the time that she was not seeking its endorsement.

    Shrub nominated her, Reid endorsed her… she will be confirmed by the Senate.

    This “bit of news” is of zero importance, except perhaps to the vast majority of liberals who perceive (incorrectly) that all Republicans are gay bashers.

    She will, of course, pass. (Unless it is discovered that she has illegal alien from Guatemala for a Nanny)
