White House Dismisses Miers Criticism
White House Spokesperson Scott McClellan addressed criticism of Harriet Miers today, in response to numerous requests that President Bush withdraw Miers' nomination. McClellan stated, "Those are people that do not know Harriet Miers, because if you know Harriet Miers you know that she will make an outstanding Supreme Court justice."
McClellan also responded to questions about Harriet Miers' affiliation with the Federalist Society. "I know she's proud that a number of her attorneys on her own staff are members of the Federalist Society. And she, like the rest of the White House, knows that the Federalist Society has been a great ally on many important issues, particularly when it comes to the federal judiciary," McClellan said.
