An article in today’s Washington Post reports that President Obama’s interview of Sonia Sotomayor left President Obama “sure she agrees with the constitutional underpinnings of Roe v. Wade”:
“In their discussions, they talked about the theory of constitutional interpretation, generally, including her views on unenumerated rights in the Constitution and the theory of settled law,” Gibbs said. “He [President Obama] left very comfortable with her interpretation of the Constitution being similar to that of his.”
Just wondering: Was the interview taped? And if so, would President Obama, consistent with his commitment to—or, rather, rhetoric about—transparency, make the tape publicly available so that the American people can know just what commitments and assurances he extracted or received?
