Washington, July 19/U.S. Newswire/--Today, Fr. Frank Pavone, National Director of Priests for Life, called upon the US Senate to do its work "swiftly and fairly" regarding the confirmation process for Judge John G. Roberts, Jr. to the Supreme Court.
"I am thrilled that the President has kept his promise by selecting a nominee who understands the importance of strictly adhering to the Constitution," Pavone said. "The President's selection of Judge John G. Roberts, Jr. shows that he has a fundamental understanding of the types of judges that we need on the Supreme Court, judges who understand the difference between applying law and rewriting law. I look forward to working to ensure that Judge John G. Roberts, Jr. is treated fairly and receives a timely up-or-down vote on the floor of the Senate."
Fr. Pavone went on to warn Senate Democrats that their past tactics of personal destruction and legislative obstruction will not be acceptable for a Supreme Court nomination. "Senate Democrats, especially those seeking reelection next year, should know that we will be watching them carefully. If they again attempt to attack a nominee's faith or pro-life convictions, their constiutents will know about it and they will be held accountable. The same goes for anyone who thinks they can unilaterally amend the Constitution by engaging in obstructionist tactics again. If they try that again, their voters will hear about it, they will remember it, and they will hold those Senators accountable for it."
Good shot accross the bow. SThey should watch the bigot schumer closely.
You can bet the DIMs to attack this man anyway they can. They will even use his own children and wife against him if they can. I am expecting the DIMs to establish a new low this time.
Our representative republic is one in which we gather facts and evidence, then debate, then vote. If you prefer endless debate . . . get married. ;-)
