[JURIST] The US Senate Judiciary Committee will likely call Focus on the Family [advocacy website] founder James Dobson [profile], to testify at confirmation hearings for Supreme Court nominee Harriet Miers [JURIST news archive], Committee chairman Arlen Specter [official profile] said [Face the Nation transcript] Sunday. In an October 5 radio address, Dobson called for support of Miers and hinted to having information from the White House regarding her views on abortion [transcript], saying "When you know some of the things that I know — that I probably shouldn't know — you will understand why I have said, with fear and trepidation, that Harriet Miers will be a good justice." Specter has expressed interest in learning what Dobson was promised, stating Sunday that "the American people are entitled to clarification." In her initial responses [JURIST document] to a Judiciary Committee questionnaire, Miers said that she has not made any representations to any individuals or interest groups as to how she might rule if confirmed.
