Harriet Miers Watch: Will James Dobson be Subpoenaed to Testify at Miers’ Confirmation Hearing?
Matt Drudge is reporting on his radio program that Dr. James Dobson of Focus on the Family may be subpoenaed to testify before the Senate Judiciary Committee during the Harriet Miers’ confirmation hearings.
And this is confirmed by the Associated Press here.
“This is a good woman who will do the right thing,” Dobson told his radio audience Wednesday, telling them that “the blood of those babies who will die will be on my hands” if he is wrong.

The Rev. Ted Haggard, a Colorado Springs pastor whose growing national prominence has earned him a place on the White House phone tree, was not concerned about the early divisions among social conservatives over the nomination.
“Everybody’s fine,” said Haggard, pastor of New Life Church and president of the National Association of Evangelicals, an umbrella group of churches and denominations representing more than 30 million people. “This is just part of the process. It’s actually good positioning because it confuses the liberals.”
Haggard said he, like Dobson, received a phone call from the White House before Miers’ nomination. Like Dobson, Haggard isn’t talking about the conversation.
While Haggard said he would not pass judgment on Miers until after the nomination hearings, he gave a strong indication of his thinking: “If the president and Dr. Dobson say she’s a good woman for the position,” Haggard said, “odds are she is.”
Senators purportedly want to learn what was said to Dobson regarding the Pro-Life and abortion views of Harriet Miers by White House operatives.
