That's fair enough. Did Dr. Dobson make a statement lately that reflected a change of heart?

I emailed him a very tactful letter asking him to comment on the 1993 speech. I respect Dr. Dobson very much.

Yes, he did....just within the past couple days.

It would appear the '93 speech affected him too.

I will try to find the Thread with the link for you.

They read (or played) a quote from Dobson last night on Special Report.

He definitely withdrew his support after reading the '93 speech.

Focus on the Family Action - October 27, 2005

Colorado Springs, Colo. -- Focus on the Family Action founder and chairman Dr. James C. Dobson issued the following statement today in response to Supreme Court nominee Harriet Miers' decision to withdraw her name from consideration:

"I believe the president has made a wise decision in accepting Harriet Miers' withdrawal as a nominee to the Supreme Court.

"In recent days I have grown increasingly concerned about her conservative credentials, and I was dismayed to learn this week about her speech in 1993, in which she sounded pro-abortion themes, and expressed so much praise for left-wing feminist leaders.

"When the president announced this nominee, I expressed my tentative support, based on what I was able to discover about her. But I also said I would await the hearings to learn more about her judicial philosophy. Based on what we now know about Miss Miers, it appears that we would not have been able to support her candidacy. Thankfully, that difficult evaluation is no longer necessary."
