William Myers, Fall Guy?
William Myers and Henry Saad are the "fall guys" in the New Senate compromise. Unlike Owen, Rogers Brown and Pryor, they may or may not receive up or down votes. The Denver Post describes William Myers today as:
Myers has no judicial experience, nor has he ever tried a case before a jury. In a two-year stint as Interior's solicitor, Myers wrote just two formal opinions and - though cleared of legal wrongdoing - was the subject of three ethics investigations by the department. The American Bar Association gave the Boise, Idaho, resident its lowest passing rating as a nominee.
Some of Myers' actions as Interior solicitor indicate that he may have found it difficult to divorce himself from his years as an advocate of industry.
He is opposed most by environmentalists.
