MIERS AGAINST MAKING GAY SEX LEGAL, AND AGAINST LEGAL ABORTION, IN 1989

From a dispatch from the Associated Press that moved late yesterday afternoon but that only a handful of major dailies have bothered to run, we learned that Harriet Miers (left)-- the corporate pitbull lawyer and presidential lapdog Bush appointed to fill Sandra Day O'connor's seat on the Supreme Court -- opposed repeal of Texas' so-called sodomy law in 1989, when she sought and won a seat on the Dallas City Council.

Says the AP, "Miers opposed repeal of the Texas sodomy statute -- a law overturned in 2003 by the court on which she will sit if confirmed -- in a survey she filled out for a gay rights group during her successful 1989 campaign." The survey was conducted by the Lesbian/Gay Coalition of Dallas -- to whom Miers said she didn't want and wouldn't seek their endorsement.

This revelation means that Miers was against the single most significant Supreme Court decision affecting gay people ever to come before the Court. And it also makes a vote for Miers' confirmation by any Democratic Senator utterly inexcusable.
