Thom Hartmann talking about Miers........

[springhill]

One thing we absolutely know is her complete loyalty to George W. Bush. Making the connection of a possible scenario in which Bush is charged with a crime, say for instance, the Plame case. He needs another ally should this ever come before the Supreme Court. Says she is a constant companion, even going to the ranch with Bush. Very interesting, should listen. Not to mention her part in the National Guard scandal.

1. If he was ever charged and it came before the SCOTUS..

...she would have to recuse herself...possible Roberts as well...

Moot point...

3. Yeh right........

And who is going to make her?

[Hobarticus]

4. Isn't that only in the case of financial ties?

I mean, outside of both appointees being blatant paybacks for their personal loyalty to Bush himself, if he pops up before the SC, does that mean they must recuse themselves if he appointed them?

5. recusing is voluntary

Remember fat boy scalia refusing to recuse himself from his pal cheney's case?

6. I thought is was VOLUNTARY to recuse oneself? If so, she's not going

anywhere. That's why she's there.

[jsamuel]

10. Just like Roberts DIDN'T recuse himself from Bush's case while he was

being nominated?

8. What's the scoop on her role w/National Guard?

I just heard Thom's take on this as far as the possibility that * is hedging his bets in case he's charged with treason vis a vis Plame. Seems like a reasonable leap to me. But I didn't follow your reference to a National Guard scandal. Does this relate to Katrina? Just looking for more info. Especially if there's more ammunition we can use against this nomination...

11. Here's Skinner's master thread about Miers.

It lists the national guard thing, and lots of other information.

I got it now. She was *'s "fixer". Sounds like the ammunition is there. Now if only our Dem senators will show some spine...:)

I'm talking about his service, or lack thereof.
