So will you come back when Miers is easily confirmed and votes to overturn Roe or will you continue acting like a drama queen?

"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."

May I suggest you read the following?
