"Schaftley's comments are more reasoned than most of the screamers and a little disturbing when she says no woman close to Bush is anti-RvW so we cannot assume Miers is..... anybody know (have any specifics) about that?."
I'm guessing that she means by that, both Barbara and Laura Bush are not anti-RvW.
".I think it may be a valid observation but I don't know"
I dont know either.
"...(makes me wonder about Roberts also BTW)"
Uh, you shouldnt. *Roberts* wife has a prominent position in a pro-life organization. :-)
I know but Bush nominated him not his wife...It's too late anyway and we will know soon enough.
It's an interesting conundrum: Bush says "I am a pro-life president", "Miers shares my philosophy", "she will not change once confirmed"....but pro-life may not mean anti-RvW although I personally find that hard to reconcile.
The key may well be not a pro-life approach but the legitimacy of any constutional basis for RvW in the first place. I would prefer to see it overturned on that basis and killed forever.
