Dobson to be subpoenaed for Miers hearings?
Posted by Jill | 9:53 PM

Tomorrow's Washington Post is reporting that Senators Arlen Specter and Patrick Leahy are planning to follow up on a comment by Focus on the Family head James Dobson that he knows things about how Harriet Miers will vote if confirmed as a Supreme Court Justice that he's not supposed to know:

"This is a lifetime appointment," Specter said. "If there are backroom assurances and there are backroom deals and if there is something which bears upon a precondition as to how a nominee is going to vote, I think that's a matter that ought to be known by the Judiciary Committee and the American people."

Leahy said he would oppose any nominee who gives assurances about how he or she would vote on particular cases. "I would vote against that person," he said. "I wouldn't care whether they are nominated by a Democrat or a Republican. . . And all 100 senators should vote against them under that basis alone."
