So, uh, what exactly did she say? As noted in The Corner, here’s how late yesterday’s news went down:

WASHINGTON — After meeting with Supreme Court nominee Harriet E. Miers, Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Arlen Specter yesterday said she told him that she believes there is a right to privacy in the U.S. Constitution, an underpinning of a woman’s right to have an abortion, and that two key privacy cases were rightly decided — which he considered to be significant factors in determining her judicial philosophy.
Later yesterday, however, he rescinded that view.
