[Stephanie]

Doesn't this violate some ethical code?

Bush (2nd R) speaks to the media as he poses with former Texas Supreme Court justices in the Oval Office of the White House to show support for the choice of Harriet Miers for Associate Justice of the Supreme Court, October 17, 2005.

1. Are we paying for this infomercial?

:mad:

[WI_DEM]

2. Since they are no longer on the bench

I guess they consider it ok.

[Richard Steele]

3. "Ethical Codes" are quaint and outdated, thanks to B*shCabal™

And yes, I think this is the first time this has ever happened.

[rocktivity]

4. The real tragedy, of course

is that they all automatically OUTQUALIFY Miers! And just who appointed these justices anyway?

5. Isn't her boyfriend on the Texas Supreme Court? eom

[funflower]

6. They're "former" Texas SC justices.

And they sure are white and male....

[McKenzie]

7. What strikes me about the pictures is

1. All those in the pictures are in positions of considerable power.

2. The US is a multi-cultural society and around half the population is female.

3. Every single person in the picture is a white male.

8. What a representative cross section of Texas that is

I'll bet everyone in Texas looks just like them huh?

[bigbrother05]

9. Yeah always trusted a Texan Judge

how many people sentenced to death in Texas, they should have been waving little merican flags, they just needed Karen Hughes there, to cater their little barbaque.

10. World indeed has officially gone crazy

If I were unconvinced before, seeing a group of "texas" Formers Cassidy gang come out support Miers has got to throw on some red lights.

Bush Admin propaganda machine is fighting hard to save the nomination because it's already dead in the water. They even used George Washington as a back drop. /gag
