There are a number of privacy rights in the Constitution -- the 1st 2nd, 4th and 5th Amendments, for starters. Griswold was a bad case, assembled on a fraudulent factual basis, and with crippled judicial descendants.
But this fact-free post offers nothing real on the subject of Miers' views on that subject.

Should be available shortly - was introduced as a late-breaking newsbite by Brian Williams at the bottom of the hour. Elaboration no doubt forthcoming this evening.
Not that I'm on the edge of my seat to see what that dimbulb ass#%$@ Specter has to say. I'm going to see Wallace & Gromit - they're better for the country, and my blood pressure, than politicians.
To be fair to RWR8189, it was Brian Wilson that drew out the report to include the Griswold decision re: A right to privacy in the constitution..
Wilson then went on to point out to the audience that it was Griswold that was the underlying decision for Roe V. Wade...so, IMHO...it was Brian Wilson that set this line of thought on this path...
I think Wilson was just assuming that the reason that Specter would mention it, would be to possibly reassure moderates...
