From WorldNetDaily:
There is one reason and one reason only Harriet Miers' nomination to the U.S. Supreme Court survives.
And that is because questions that should be raised in Senate confirmation hearings about her tenure at the Texas lottery commission may never be asked because they would embarrass – and possibly result in indictments – of both Democratic and Republican party politicians.
According to sources close to the breathtaking corruption scandal that gripped the Texas lottery during the time Miers led the commission, Texas politicians were bought, sold and utterly compromised. Competitive bidding for lottery business was scrubbed. Deep, dark secrets about high-ranking officials were traded like commodities. The public was ripped off with higher prices and lower payoffs. Those who had inside knowledge of where the bodies were buried were kept silent with settlements reaching as high as $23 million.
And Harriet Miers presided over the cover-up.
