It is all about if Miers will rule like a conservative...
No, it's not. It's about whether Miers will rule as an originalist, not a conservative. Yes, there is a difference between the two: a conservative would jump at the first chance a case presented to ban abortion, while an originalist would refer said issue to the states.

Most conservatives view it as a states rights issue first, but would work to restrict abortions at the state level.
