From todayโs White House briefing:
Q John Fund writes an article today saying that several people on a conference call assured religious conservatives that Harriet Miers would overturn Roe versus Wade. You were going to find out if any member of the White House staff was on that conference call.
MR. McCLELLAN: That was not a call organized by the White House, and as far as Iโve been able to learn, no one at the White House was involved on that call.
Q And is it correct that Karl Rove was the person who asked those two people who made the assurances that she would overturn Roe versus Wade โ that Karl Rove asked them to join?
MR. McCLELLAN: I think itโs well-known that Karl and Dr. Dobson spoke about the nomination and about the process. And they had a good discussion. And Karl talked about individuals who know Harriet Miers well, like Justice Hecht, and said that they would be people that probably would be willing to talk about her.
