Harriet Miers might or might not be the anti-abortion holy warrior that James Dobson has been dreaming of, but her conservative street cred is clear on one key issue: the War on Trial Lawyers.
From the Washington Post:
As a corporate lawyer, Harriet Miers once urged then-Gov. George W. Bush to veto legislation that would have prohibited the Texas Supreme Court from regulating or capping attorneys' fees, charging that the legislation did "violence to the balance of power between the legislative and judicial branch."
Miers, President Bush's nominee to the Supreme Court, said in her 1995 letter to Bush that the legislation was a blatant attempt to protect a "handful of greedy, but immensely rich and powerful" trial lawyers.
The letter was among 2,259 pages of documents released Monday by the Texas State Library and Archives Commission.
