Irvine511 said:actually, "consutled" is such a vague word ... how about, "sought Robertson, Fallwell, and Dobson's approval of his potential SCOTUS nominee before he announced it to the nation."
"Consulted" suggests a say in the decision. There was none.
I believe any conversations with Dobson & company took place after the announcement, as the right-wing backlash began.
