"Harriet Miers Demonstrated a Love of Country..."

October 27, 2005

Statement from Kay Daly, president, Coalition for a Fair Judiciary on the withdrawal of Harriet Miers nomination:

"There was never any doubt that Harriet Miers, as the President said, had a good heart. She demonstrated class, dignity and selflessness today that showed a love of country over personal ambition. As the President moves toward selecting another nominee, we encourage him to keep his promise to nominate someone in the mold of Justices Scalia and Thomas. There are several critical cases on the docket for the current Supreme Court term that require the respectful hand of a constitutionalist, not the reckless whims of a judicial activist."
