In the MSM world of NBC, the only "rights" groups are liberal ones. And Supreme Court justices, at least women ones, are there to serve as advocates for their sex.
That was evident from the segment "Today" ran this morning, focusing on Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. The gist was that with Sandra Day O'Connor gone, it's a lonely struggle for Ginsburg as the high court's sole woman. And "Today" portrayed matters as a struggle not between liberals and conservatives, but between conservatives and various "rights" groups.
Campbell Brown introduced the segment.
'TODAY' WEEKEND TODAY CO-HOST CAMPELL BROWN: One thing as clear as the Court moves into its final weeks of the current session, it is much different place with just one female place among nine high court justices."
Why? If O'Connor had been replaced with a male who voted just like O'Connor, how would the Court be any different? Are justices there to represent their sex or race, or to apply the Constitution?
Pete Williams then took over.
NBC JUSTICE CORRESPONDENT PETE WILLIAMS: For the first time in thirty years, the Supreme Court has upheld a ban on a specific abortion procedure even though it made no exception for a women's health. And just this week the Court made it harder for Americans to claim that discrimination on the job is affecting their pay, ruling against an Alabama woman who claimed Goodyear paid her far less than her male colleagues.
Williams didn't mention that the "specific abortion procedure" in question was the horrific partial birth abortion, which even the late liberal Sen. Daniel Patrick Moynihan described as "infanticide." Nor did Williams point out that so-called "health" exceptions have created a huge loophole rendering all such previous laws meaningless.

BREAKING
"THIS JUST IN -
The rumor circulates that President Bush and Tony Snow suggest
that the LAST of Bush's 'conservative base' immediately run and obtain sedatives,
because the Pres., to satisfy his new ultraliberal Democratic base, has chosen
two distinguished women minority Democrats as his future candidates for SCOTUS.
[ /sarcasm, maybe]
NBC, The New York Times, WaPo, the MSM in general...people don’t trust them anymore. Their agendas are showing a bit too clearly.
I haven’t believed anything in the MSM since 1963. They covered up the murder of Kennedy. They turned on the Vietnam War and two million in Asia died in the vaccuum after we left.
The MSM wants big government socialism. That is very clear.
The “Today Show” is still on the air? Wow!
