Sir Michael Myers, GCMG, KC, PC, (7 September 1873 – 8 April 1950) was the sixth Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of New Zealand from 1929 to 1946 and served occasionally as Administrator of New Zealand from 1930 to 1941. He was the first person of Jewish descent to hold this position. He sat on the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council in 1936.
Born in Motueka, Myers was educated at Thorndon School and Wellington College, and gained his LL B from Canterbury College in 1897. Afterwards he was admitted to the Inner Temple.
Myers went to the 1945 San Francisco conference that produced the United Nations, and participated in the drafting of the constitution of the International Court of Justice.
He resigned on 6 September 1945, but was reappointed for one year, and then resigned on 7 August 1946.
Myers died in Wellington in 1950. He had been made King's Counsel in 1922, and G.C.M.G.
Michael Joseph "Ozzie" Myers (born May 4, 1943) is a politician from the American state of Pennsylvania.
Myers was elected to the Pennsylvania House of Representatives as a Democrat in 1970, serving until 1976. Myers was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives in 1976. Myers had previously been a longshoreman. He was regarded as a "maverick" from the very beginning of his tenure in office. For example, in 1979 he got into a fistfight with a waiter in Washington, D.C. whom he felt wasn't showing proper respect for a member of Congress.
Myers is known most for being involved in the Abscam scandal in 1980. Myers was videotaped accepting a bribe of $50,000 from undercover FBI agents on August 22, 1979 . Myers infamously stated on that tape "money talks and bullshit walks". Myers was expelled from the House of Representatives on October 2, 1980 by a vote of 376 to 30, becoming the first member of the House to be expelled since 1861; the next to suffer this fate was Jim Traficant in 2002. Myers was defeated by Thomas M. Foglietta in the 1980 election. Myers was sentenced to three years in prison in 1981.
