The RNC is presumably trying to provide the most persuasive arguments on behalf of Harriet Miers and maybe they are. Yesterday, the party committee distributed a weak opinion piece by a woman who supported John Kerry. Today, the RNC shares an op-ed by a Dallas Morning News columnist who asks “How does Harriet Miers measure up?” The answer is “well” in his opinion. But in recounting her early experiences he laments that she “hit her own glass ceiling” upon graduating from law school. In Harriet Miers case, the facts simply don’t support the pleasing feminist myth of being blackballed by the hostile patriarchy. William McKenzie allows that, as a newly-minted lawyer, Miers landed a prestigious federal clerkship and after two years at the court, “she cracked into a prestigious Dallas firm in 1972.” Why “cracked into?” Seems she walked straight through the open front door.
