Connecticut case, which was related to privacy and whether married couples should be able to have the privacy to purchase contraception.Īnd so I think what you’re hearing play out is the President’s own reaction to what he saw in these documents and his view that - the protection of privacy and the protection of the ability of women to make decisions about their healthcare with their doctors, about people to be able to choose who they marry. ![]() And what struck him in reading the leaked document was how some of the language reminded him of Robert Bork’s view of the narrow definition of how one should analyze or review what the Constitution allows for.Īnd if you remember during that - those hearings - I know many of you, including myself, were quite young during the time, but we all read history - part of the big debate there, or the big discussion, was the Griswold vs. As you all know from his biography, he led the fight against the nomination of Robert Bork. ![]() What he was speaking to - and I - and he touched on it again this morning - was his long history working on a range of these issues.
