HARRIET MEIRS WILL OVERTURN ROE V WADE IF GIVEN OPPORTUNITY

The controversy over the nomination of Harriet Meirs to replace Sandra Day O'Connor at the Supreme Court has taken a twist that has many conservatives rethinking their initial criticism. In a conference call that took place between prominent religious leaders and judges from Texas who know Meirs and what she believes, the judges and friends revealed that if given the opportunity on the High Court to overturn Roe V Wade Meirs would! Dr. James Dobson of, "Focus on the Family," said the Karl Rove suggested that he and the other religious leaders talk with the judges because they would have insight about Meirs that may reveal that she is a better candidate than first suspected. The subject of abortion and Roe V Wade among other conservative agenda policies came up and the judges said the Meirs is definitely pro-life and would overturn this High Court decision. Anyone who has studied the Constitution has to realize that this court decision made in the 70's does not meet Constitutional standards because one, it is based on the right to privacy clause which can be loosely interpreted to cover anything and second, this decision became law not through the legislative branch which IS Constitutional but by seven liberal judges who created legislation from the bench. Meirs has stated that she is a strict Constitutionalist and the President has stated the same and campaigned on the promise that these were the type of judges that he would nominate to the Supreme Court. As a conservative and pro-life Republican this revelation about the conference call is good news indeed!
