Bush Picks Harriet Miers for Associate Justice
President Bush is expected Monday to name White House counsel Harriet Miers as his choice to replace retiring Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O’Connor.
If confirmed by the Senate, Miers, 60, would join Ruth Bader Ginsburg as the second sitting female justice on the bench. O’Connor became the court’s first ever female justice in 1981.
Miers, who has never been a judge, was the first woman to serve as president of the Texas State Bar and the Dallas Bar Association. She also served on the Dallas City Council.
