The spectre of Specter: Alleged Rove secret riles senators

BY TOM BRUNE
WASHINGTON BUREAU

October 10, 2005

WASHINGTON - Senators yesterday demanded disclosure of the secret that top Bush aide Karl Rove told a conservative activist last week to reassure him about Supreme Court nominee Harriet Miers, but the White House insisted there is no secret to divulge.

Many politicians and activists reacted with surprise last week when conservative Focus on the Family founder James Dobson announced his support for Miers and said on his radio show Wednesday that Rove told him things about Miers "I probably shouldn't know."

Three senators - Sen. Arlen Specter (R-Pa.), Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.) and Sen. Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) - said yesterday on morning talk shows that Miers' confirmation could be derailed if there were what Specter called "any backroom deals" on her votes on abortion or other issues that come before the Supreme Court.
