Thanks for that. From the thread ...

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."
