James Dobson Speaks on Miers

Dobson Says His Support Stems from a Private Chat With Rove About Nominee's Evangelicism

Oct. 12, 2005 — - James Dobson, founder of the conservative group Focus on the Family, made waves earlier this month when he said he had confidential information that led him to back President Bush's nomination of Harriet Miers for the Supreme Court -- even as other conservatives spoke out against the nomination.

Dobson's position led to widespread calls for him to disclose the nature of his information.

Today, Dobson claimed to do so during Focus on the Family's 30-minute daily radio program, which the group says is aired on over 3,000 radio facilities each day across the United States.
