One of the good early moves of the Bush administration was to eject the ABA from any formal role in the vetting process for judicial nominees. That dumb practice had hardened into custom, and the left howled when the Bush administration dispensed with it. Miers opposed that decision. So the welcome news that Miers urged the ABA to knock off its pro-abortion propaganda may be counterbalanced by her cooperation with the ABA in other dubious areas.
