Miers' official bio at whitehouse.gov -- Will they revise it? Does THIS
Edited on Mon Oct-03-05 10:50 AM by AirAmFan
look like the profile of a USSC Justice? Pretty thin, eh?



"Assistant to the President and Deputy Chief of Staff Harriet Miers

Most recently, Harriet Miers served as Assistant to the President and Staff Secretary. Prior to that, she was Co-Managing Partner at Locke Liddell & Sapp, LLP. Previously, she was President of Locke, Purnell, Rain & Harrell, where she worked from 1972 until 1999. From 1995 until 2000, she was chair of the Texas Lottery Commission. In 1992, Harriet became the first woman president of the Texas State Bar, and in 1985 she became the first woman president of the Dallas Bar Association. She also served as a Member-At-Large on the Dallas City Council. Harriet received both her undergraduate and law degrees from Southern Methodist University."

1. What do we know about the two firms she worked for?

2. Locke, Purnell, Rain & Harrell back tort reform
http://www.lightupthedarkness.org/blog/?view=plink&id=306

Locke, Purnell, Rain & Harrell have given at least $65,000 to Bush campaigns and are major backers of tort reform. One case involved a unique law - passed under former Gov. George Bush - that blocked Texas consumers from recovering $6 billion in overcharges on car loans and allowed dealers to keep kickbacks secret. Two consumer groups have called on the Texas Legislature to repeal it. Locke, Purnell, Rain & Harrell were defendants of the litigation, which included auto dealers in Texas

3. Thanks. My main purpose here was to put a snapshot of the WH profile
on record, for purposes of comparison after her "fluffer" gets to her webpage.
