[[Image:Miers.jpg|right]]'''Harriet Miers''' served as White House Counsel under [[George W. Bush]] from 2004 to 2007. In 2005, despite never having served as a judge, she was nominated by President [[George W. Bush]] to replace retiring Associate Justice of the Supreme Court [[Sandra Day O'Connor]]. However, when conservative interest groups made their opposition to Ms. Miers clear, she was forced to withdraw her nomination. Bush went on to nominate [[Samuel Alito]], a proven conservative, whose nomination succeeded.

Ms. Miers has recently refused to appear before the Senate Judiciary Committee, in response to a subpoena, because President Bush ordered her not to go. She now risks the possibility of imprisonment, should the Senate Judiciary Committee send the [[Sergeant at Arms]] to arrest her.
