I hated this speech when I first read about it last night and hate it even more after going back and reading Justice Hecht's reported comments a day or so after she was first announced as the nominee:
Hecht said he had never asked Miers how she would vote on the issue of abortion if it came before the Supreme Court. "She probably wouldn't answer; she wouldn't view it as appropriate," he said.
"Yes, she goes to a pro-life church," Hecht said, adding: "I know Harriet is, too." The two attended "two or three" anti-abortion fund-raising dinners in the early 1990s, he said, but added that she had not otherwise been active in the anti-abortion movement.
"You can be just as pro-life as the day is long and can decide the Constitution requires Roe" to be upheld, he said, referring to the 1973 Supreme Court decision in Roe vs. Wade that found a constitutional right to abortion.
>>Would you please ping me if you get an answer? I'd like to ask Dobson a few questions myself. <<
I will TRY to remember to...but please don't get mad if I forget...I'm stretched pretty thin these days so I might forget.
