They go way back. They're the best of friends. The White House staff calls her the President's "work wife." She calls the President "the most brilliant man [she] knows."
They vacation togetherreading memos and clearing brush on the Texas outback. She puts in 16-hour days at the White House. Yet, with all that in her favor, the President's friendHarriet Mierscan't catch a break.
George Will accuses her of having no "talents commensurate with the Supreme Court's tasks." Another conservative insider calls her "possibly the most unqualified choice since [the 1960s]." Richard Viguerie, a conservative leader, said he felt "betrayed" by Miers' appointment. And Charles Krauthammer reminded us of Senator Hruska's quote regarding a Nixon nominee; there are a lot of "mediocre" judges and people and lawyers. They are entitled to a little representation, aren't they, a little change?
But President Bush wants an America where anyone's friend can sit on the Supreme Court. And here at Democracy for America, we say it's time for that dream to come true.
So come onlet's help the President. Have a friend you've known long enough to 'see inside their heart'? Can they read the Constitutionwithout Cliffs Notes? Then tell usand we'll tell the White House to put your friend on the Supreme Court:

When you think about it, who doesn't have the skills to serve on America's highest court? That friend who always manages to argue their way out of a speeding ticket? Talk about persuasive. Or your family member who always ends the holiday debates? Now that's fair and balanced.
There's only one limit on the possibilities: your imagination. After all, the President thinks his friends deserve to be in high places. He's hiring them everywhere, from FEMA to the Supreme Court.
Supposing he's right, why doesn't the same go for all of us?
Don't waste time. Let's get busy. The president wants to give friends a promotionand make the Supreme Court the people's court. Lend him a handrecommend your friend for the high court today:
