" I would be willing to guess that both Sekulow and Dobson feel very used right now."
Agreed, but Miers' pro-choice statements are so extreme that I have to believe that the WH was unaware of them at the time they made the representations to Dobson et. al about Miers' supposedly pro-life views.
It would just boggle the mind to think the Bush administration would have said what it apparently did while knowing she had made these statements. Like they say, not only would it have been wrongm, it would have been stupid.

If the White House called with glowing recommendations to both Sekulow and Dobson, which they did, since both these good men took their word on good faith and endorsed Miers....and the White House did NOT do any research and find out about these views, it shows glaring incompetence and recklessness on the part of the administration.
And it blows the whole "I'm just gonna trust the President" theory to smithereens.
