Was Harriet Miers The Result of PC In The White House?

J.J. Jackson* | July 31, 2006

Andy Card, Bush’s former Chief of Staff claims to NewsMax that President Bush was fixated on nominating a woman to the Supreme Court instead of simply nominating the best person. You know, the “conservative” thing to do.

President Bush selected Harriet Miers for the Supreme Court after a search for other possible female candidates outside the White House began to lag, former White House Chief of Staff Andrew H. “Andy” Card, Jr. said in his first extensive interview since leaving the White House.

“The president was criticized for not nominating a woman when he nominated John Roberts,” Card said, as he petted Sophie, his Wheaton Terrier, in the living room of his home in northern Virginia.

“And then when William Rehnquist left, you know, ?What do you mean you’re not going to nominate a woman? You’ve had two opportunities, and you haven’t nominated a woman.’ And so he was looking to nominate a woman ? not blindly, not any woman, not just to nominate a woman.”

As the search committee kept suggesting female candidates who did not seem right, Bush pushed for more selections.

Outside the Box Nomination

“Go back and find more, go back and find more women,” Card quoted the president as saying. “We worked very, very hard, and a lot of the names that kept floating up were all white males. ?No, keep going, going, going.’
