Roberts said that the right to privacy exists thorugh the "liberty" clause found in the fifth and fourteenth amendments. This is the same view of Justice Thomas. Griswold is the decision that found that the right exists in the penumbras and emanations of the Bill of Rights. that was the view of Douglas and most liberal justices. If this report is true, Miers is no Scalia or Thomas.

This kind of stuff is out of my league....could you break it down for me and all of us...if Miers supports Griswold....what does that mean.
