Supreme Fuck Up
Things are going from bad to worse for Bush's wayward Supreme Court Justice nominee, Harriet Miers. This story was broken in yesterday's (Sunday October 24) editition of the Fort Worth Star Telegram.
Texas Paid Miers 10 Times the Value of Dallas Property
Supreme Court nominee Harriet Miers collected more than 10 times the market value of a small piece of land in a Dallas Superfund cleanup site. The windfall came in 2000 after a judge who received thousands of dollars in campaign contributions from Miers' law firm appointed a close professional associate of Miers to the three-person panel that determined how much the state should pay. The panel recommended a $106,915 payment, which the state objected to as excessive.
You can read the full story at the Star Telegram's website here.
I sent this off as an anonymous tip to the right-wing online 'journalist' Matt Drudge, it will be interesting to see if he puts it up on his site.
This is a further blow to Miers, after it was reported that she did not have enough votes to pass the Senate Judicial Committee confirmation hearing.
