Does 'judicial conservative' = a 'social conservative' ?
I'm hoping as the day goes on, we can find some kind of reason to be happy about this.
"Some old stuff on Miers:
AP, 2/2/1992, on whether as President she would ask a potential nominee how he or she would rule on abortion:
“Nominees are clearly prohibited from making such a commitment and presidents are prohibited from asking for it,” said Harriet Miers, a Dallas lawyer and president-elect of the State Bar of Texas.
In 1993, after the ABA had voted to adopt a pro-choice stance, the State Bar of Texas, under Miers’ leadership, fought to have the issue put to a vote of the full ABA membership. She said:
“If we were going to take a position on this divisive issue, the members should have been able to vote.”
In favor of democracy on the issue of abortion? Let’s hope she carries that through."
