'Privacy' issue adds to debate over Miers
http://www.cnn.com/2005/POLITICS/10/18/miers/index.html

(snip)

"After their meeting, Specter told reporters that Miers said she believed the 1965 case of Griswold v. Connecticut -- a landmark ruling establishing the right to privacy -- was "rightly decided."

But when the White House took exception to Specter's comments, the Pennsylvania Republican released a statement saying Miers later called him to tell him he had "misunderstood" her answer. (Full story)"

(snip)


The White House takes exception to being painted as supporting the privacy ruling.

Conservative indeed.

Note how the article goes out of its way to tie the decision to Roe v. Wade at almost every mention.

Hooray for ContraBass Black, enlightener of the masses.

Maybe they are trying to fix her position on Abortion as a face saving way of dropping her?
