Bush Supreme Court Nominee Former Microsoft Lawyer

DaveM writes "Bush's most recent Supreme Court nominee, Harriet Miers, successfully argued that people who were sold defective software by Microsoft weren't "injured," and couldn't participate in a class action against the company. The case involved unstable compression features in MS DOS 6.0, which were corrected by a $9.95 update, MS DOS 6.2. Plaintiffs wanted Microsoft to offer the updates for free, but eventually lost to Miers' arguments."

The only thing worse than big corporate lawyers protecting clients who sold shoddy products are bottom-feeding class action lawyers.

Oh, you want clear cut?

The prosecutor that Delay is moaning about being "partisan" has pursued most of his cases against politicians against Democratic politicians.

Which makes Delay a fucking liar - big surprise.

The bitch lawyer being discussed has a long history of being in Bush's ass when he needs her to clean up his shit.

She is nominated for one purpose and one purpose only - to pack the Supreme Court with pro-Bush justices so that when he is indicted by the Plame outing prosecutor for criminal conspiracy, he will have some people on the bench to keep him from being sent to prison.

Period.
