Harriet Miers Integrity Under Question

Harriet Miers is George Bush's latest Nomination as a Judge to sit on the bench of the US Supreme Court. Harriet Miers also just happens to be the Presidents former personal Lawyer!
Unfortunately Harriet Miers has perhaps a little less integrity than what Shrub would have us believe.
These incidents take on added significance because – since Miers doesn’t have any judicial experience – Bush is selling Miers’s nomination to the court, in large part, on her “character.”


Story from Think Progress
When President Bush announced the nomination of Harriet Miers on October 3, he called her “a leader of unquestioned integrity.” Much of what we’ve learned since then hasn’t supported Bush’s claim.

To review:

• Miers was suspended from the DC Bar for failure to pay dues.
• Miers was also suspended from the Texas bar for non-payment of dues.
• Miers repeatedly had tax liens placed on property she owned in Texas for non-payment of fines and fees.
• Miers received 10 times the market value for a small piece of land she controlled from the state of Texas, awarded by a panel stacked with friends and allies. A mediator ordered Miers to repay $26,000 but she has failed to do so.
  
  

Miers, in a letter to Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.), said her Texas Bar license was "administratively suspended" for several weeks in 1989 due to late payment of her Bar Association dues

In her letter to Leahy, she also said she neglected to list her affiliation with two entities, specifically, she was a director and shareholder of Priority Enterprises from 1983 to 2000, which she descried as a "for-profit consulting and personnel placement firm" in Farmers Branch, Tex.

Don't you just love cronyism when it blows up in their respective faces?
