Chilling Similarities to Reagan's Guarantees on O'Connor

Check out the post entitled Memories here at Eschaton. A whole series of articles from 1981 leading up to Sandra Day O'Connor's confirmation hearing in which Reagan says that he is satisfied with her pro-life credentials based on his personal conversations with her. And James Robinson, prominent televangelist, says he trust the President...reminiscent of the comments of James Dobson this week. President Reagan proceeded to make calls to Falwell among others to try to get him to believe that O'Connor was pro-life, much like Miers's conversations with leaders of the Religious Right this week. In addition, Richard Vigurie was against her nomination as he is against this one.
