Harriet Miers Questionnaire

[random_grrl]

Don’t get me wrong . . . I do not believe that Harriet Miers is a good candidate for our highest court. Actually I do not believe she is a good candidate for any court. Yet, I have a question. The Harriet Miers questionnaire that everyone is talking about is not signed by her. It is unsigned. Thus, how do we know it was actually submitted by

A word of warning - someone's probably going to attack you for this:

for our highest court - and for not explaing who Harriet Miers is every time you mention her (even though it's a simple google search away).

To see what I mean, see this post.

congratulations!

you're a jerk!

Not trying to be a jerk - just that with my experience reading in this community people often get attacked, rather than questioned (you sorta proved that point by calling me a jerk :-/). It saddens me. Fortunately, the replies so far have been cool and simply pointed out out that she could be more courteous. I can respect that.

My comment about the google thing - yeah, that was snarky. I'll admit it. Should've let that one go... sorry.

I thought by posting what I did, people would be less likely to attack/yell at her. If I take the heat for being a jerk, cool.

i think the annoying thing is that the mods/whomever jump on certain instances of it, and not on others. if i see a post with a little slip like that, and no one's gotten to it yet to comment, "Cease your US-centrism now, moron!" i feel like saying something just to warn the person before someone goes way overboard with a comment like that. i think your intentions were honorable.

I feel that *eyeroll* is a bit harsh. I am the first to admit that I am not perfect. Thus, I am open to criticism--well intentioned and mature criticism.

I rolled my eyes at Mr. White "Gangsta," not at you. My correction of you was intended to be polite. I'm sorry if I offended you in the process.

We'll see how you feel about it being a simple Google search away when you have to do it for every other post. I understand that Americans are, on the whole, very patriotic, but in a feminist community, you are expected to thing outside your national borders.

It's been mentioned on the community so many times now.
