Senator Thune Comments on Harriet Miers
October 27th, 2005 - Washington, D.C. - Senator John Thune today made the following statement regarding the withdrawal of Harriet Miers:
"I applaud Harriet Miers for her distinguished service to our country. Her decision to withdraw out of respect for the separation of powers, one of America's greatest founding principles, was a selfless act of courage that I commend.
