Supreme Court nominee -- Harriet Miers

In Speeches From 1990s, Clues About Miers Views

On page 10 of her speech (linked PDF in the WashingPost Story) she says...

"We undeniably still have a justice system that does not provide justice for all as provided by the Pledge of Allegiance".

She seems to be saying that the Pledge or Allegiance is an authoritative SOURCE of rights, that the Pledge was mean to PROVIDE "justice for all". Granted this is just a speech and you sometimes pick words and phrases because they sound good, but she could have easily said "as claimed in" or "as spoken of in".

Maybe Miers wasn't Bush's real FIRST choice

Also on that list were several candidates that many conservatives say they would have preferred, Mr. Dobson said on his radio program that was recorded yesterday and will be broadcast today. "Well, what Karl told me is that some of those individuals took themselves off that list," he said, according to a transcript obtained last night. "They would not allow their names to be considered because the process has become so vicious and so vitriolic and so bitter that they didn't want to subject themselves or the members of their families to it."
