Someone is selectively quoting bits of ABA Committee Reports to make it appear as though Miers advocated the leftist positions taken by the Committees. It would be similar to blaming Denny Hastert for wacky positions taken by the Congressional Black Caucus. Totally irrelevant to Miers.

Aha! You do see it! I agree with that, and pointed out exactly the same regarding the ABA positions relating to International Court and adoption into homosexual households. THose are ABA positions, and Miers is duty bound to report them - even though they are not her peronal position. We can't conclude her position either way, from how she represents a group.

The same holds for her advocating a whole-body ABA vote on the pro-choice plank the ABA adopted. The objection was based on reasons OTHER THAN the substance of the position. She may have objected to the position, or may have agreed with it. The evidence does not illuminate the inquiry.
