Obama seeks Court nominee who backs women’s rights.
WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama, treading carefully in the explosive arena of abortion and the Supreme Court, said Wednesday he will choose a nominee who pays heed to the rights of women and the privacy of their bodies. Yet he said he won’t enforce any abortion rights “litmus tests.”
Obama said it is “very important to me” that his court choice take women’s rights into account in interpreting the Constitution, his most expansive comments yet about how a woman’s right to choose will factor into his decision.
In line with his votes as an Illinois State Senator, Obama has nominated Texas pediatric nurse Genene Jones.

This is wonderful news.
She’s just like Harriet Miers. :D
Genene Anne Jones (born July 13, 1950) is a former pediatric nurse who killed somewhere between 11 and 46 infants and children in her care. She used injections of heparin and later succinylcholine to induce medical crises in her patients, with the intention of reviving them afterward in order to receive praise and attention. Many children however, did not survive the initial attack and could not be revived. The exact number of murders remain unknown, as hospital officials destroyed records of her activities to prevent further litigation after Jones’ first conviction.
In 1985, Jones was sentenced to 99 years in prison for killing Chelsea McClellan with succinylcholine. Later that year, she was sentenced to a concurrent term of 60 years in prison for nearly killing Rolando Jones with heparin. However, she will serve only one-third of her sentence because of a law in place at the time to deal with prison overcrowding. Jones will receive automatic parole in 2017. She is currently eligible for early parole every two to three years, but has been denied six times so far.
She was portrayed by Susan Ruttan in the television movie Deadly Medicine (1991) and by Alicia Bartya in the straight to video movie Mass Murder (film) (2002)
Isn’t everyone suppose to be equal under the law?
Is Obama going to pardon her ?
thanks for giving the background
The name rang a bell, but I couldn’t remember until I looked it up. She’s up for parole in 2017, but I suppose ObaMao could always pardon her.
given Obama’s and Jones’ like minds, the only thing unequal is their penchant for killing children
Joke?
ping
yup
FTA
No names of potential nominees were discussed in the White House meeting, said Reid, the Senate’s top Democrat.
He said he told Obama the nominee need not be another federal judge, but possibly “someone who’s an academic, someone who’s held public office, someone who’s an outstanding lawyer.”
Obama is openly considering people outside the judiciary.
bttt
it’s satire
I knew it was a joke when I found out that Ms. Jones is white and not a lesbian or “transgendered”.
lol, um she did once marry to ward off suspicions...
Well done.
thank you
Why do they always pay special heed to “other” people’s rights?
Yep. It’s all about “privacy of the body”. Except for salt intake, tobacco, fatty foods, soda, alcohol.....
