Interesting theory. I would be tempted to reject it outright, but stumbled upon these tidbits from
Ryan Lizza:
- For instance economic conservatives pleased by her corporate law background may find it distressing that in 1990 Miers voted for a 7 percent property tax increase during her short tenure on the Dallas City Council. And Miers's long affiliation with the ABA will serve up lots of interesting tidbits that are unlikely to please social and legal conservatives. For instance, she apparently submitted the following report to the ABA's House of Delegates. Here are two of the report's recommendations:
* Supports the enactment of laws and public policy which provide that sexual orientation shall not be a bar to adoption when the adoption is determined to be in the best interest of the child. ...
* Recommends the development and establishment of an International Criminal Court.
Oh, my.
It seems extremely unlikely that Bush would offer up a crony as a tactical sacrifice, but reading stuff like this makes me wonder.
Either that, or the White House's vetting staff has just been shot dead on the South Lawn. Someone please collect the bodies.
