Sorry about using Faux, but nobody else seems to have it.

Specter: Miers 'Backs Griswold'
Monday, October 17, 2005

<snip>

WASHINGTON — Harriet Miers "backs Griswold," according to Arlen Specter, R-Pa., who met the U.S. Supreme Court nominee on Capitol Hill Monday afternoon.

The statement gave long-awaited insight into how Miers, who has never served as a judge, would rule on the legality of abortion. Griswold vs. Connecticut ruled that married couples had the right to use contraceptives and was a basis for the Roe vs. Wade decision, which legalized abortion.

Specter, however, said Miers' statement "should not give conservatives heartburn because she's not committed. No one should know how a judge will rule on any issue."

Some conservatives may not be pleased. Sam Brownback, R-Kan., said supporting Griswald as settled law would be a "red flag" that Miers might not be willing to overturn Roe vs. Wade.

So Dobson has been assured that she'll overturn Roe v. Wade, and Specter has been hinted at, that she won't???

Are these guys playing Three Card Monte, or do they just not have a friggin clue???
