I’ll admit it. While getting ready for class this morning and watching Bush’s press conference on CNN<\/em>, when he officially nominated Harriet Miers<\/strong><\/a> to be O’Connor’s replacement on the Supreme Court, the first thing I said was, “who the hell is she?” That’s right, I had no clue who Harriet Miers<\/a><\/strong> was until this morning around seven o’clock. Shame on me. Just as I didn’t know who Chief Justice Roberts’ was until after Bush nominated him. Apparently she’s a trailblazer for women-attorneys down in the Lone Star State<\/em>.
