Dobson Reveals New Info on Miers Nomination

WND

Seeking to avoid a threatened subpoena by the Senate Judiciary Committee, Focus on the Family Chairman James Dobson, with White House permission, revealed the contents of his private phone conversation with President Bush’s chief adviser Karl Rove regarding Supreme Court nominee Harriet Miers – details that largely became public later.

While the contentious confidential information was not the bombshell sought by some Democrats, the family advocate provided more insight into the selection process, which has become a bitter point of division among Republicans who feel betrayed by the president’s choice of a nominee without a proven conservative judicial philosophy.

According to Dobson, Rove stated in the Oct. 1 conversation that some better-known candidates removed their names from the list and that before finally selecting Miers, the president had decided to narrow his choice to a woman.

Dobson said there was no Roe Vs. Wade in the conversation, and that he had Rove’s permission to reveal the privy conversation. The Miers nomination has been quite interesting to say the least. It will be interesting to see the reaction to this development around the blogosphere.
