I just heard on WABC radio news that the candidates that President Bush is considering as U.S. Supreme Court nominees are John Roberts, J. Michael Luttig and possibly Attorney General Alberto R. Gonzales.
Alberto Gonzeles is not pro-life, which worries me.
Calling pro-life, conservative talk shows would help, as well.
Pure spin and irrelevancy.
Was their source a European re-typed memo? or was it from Abilene?
how do we know Gonzales is not pro-life? How do you know Rhenquist is?
Actual0yl it doesnt matter what his personal views are.
I would prefer a pro-abortion justice that follows the law and overturns ROE.
Conidering all the Radicals appointed to the SCOTUS by Bush I, Reagan, Nixon and Eisenhower, it stands to reason Bush II will continue the tradition.
You are basing your opinion on a decision he made based on the law. I do not have a clue if he is pro choice or pro life.
The info came straight from Lucy Ramirez
Sadly, Judges no longer consider the actual law and simply issue opinions.
Now, they consult their own personal opinions and issue orders.
I agree with you and everything, but we will have Civil War II before liberals will give up their "right" to kill unborn children. It's what they live for.
Breaking News?
The only sure thing about who is selected to fill any vacancy on the court is the fact that he/she will continue the tradition of maximizing the damage to America.
My personal choice would be Janice Rogers Brown for SCOTUS and even chief SCOTUS:
Private property, already an endangered species in California, is now entirely extinct in San Francisco.
- CA Justice Janice Rogers Brown
Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible.
- CA Justice Janice Rogers Brown
We no longer find slavery abhorrent. We embrace it. We demand more. Big government is not just the opiate of the masses. It is the opiate. The drug of choice for multinational corporations and single moms; for regulated industries and rugged Midwestern farmers and militant senior citizens.
- CA Justice Janice Rogers Brown
The quixotic desire to do good, be universally fair and make everybody happy is understandable. Indeed, the majority's zeal is more than a little endearing. There is only one problem with this approach. We are a court.
- CA Justice Janice Rogers Brown
Government is the only enterprise in the world which expands in size when its failures increase.
- CA Justice Janice Rogers Brown
The public school system is already so beleaguered by bureaucracy; so cowed by the demands of due process; so overwhelmed with faddish curricula that its educational purpose is almost an afterthought.
- CA Justice Janice Rogers Brown
" agree with you and everything, but we will have Civil War II before liberals will give up their "right" to kill unborn children. It's what they live for."
If the pro-aborts fight harder for death, than the good guys do for life, death will win and continue to win.
Please contact the White House.
"Breaking News?"
I just heard it and was surprised that President Bush would even consider Gonzales. Why did we fight so hard to get Bush reelected?
As the Specter endorsement indicated, pro-politics trumps pro-life. However we can hope that, at the moment-of-truth, President Bush will choose a confirmed pro-lifer.
I know I know. You're right. I'm just saying that the left worships abortion and they won't give it up for anything. I'll still fight for the unborn's right-to-life until the day I day, but I recognize the zealotry of the other side. They love abortion.
"My personal choice would be Janice Rogers Brown for SCOTUS and even chief SCOTUS:"
She would be my personal choice, as well, and thanks for giving us even more reasons why she is a great choice.
We could suggest her name to the president, and frankly, I was shocked that she wasn't one of the names mentioned.
Here's an excerpt of an article that I found about Gonzales:

CHANGING OF THE GUARD
Pro-lifers not thrilled
with Gonzales choice
Bush's pick for attorney general upheld abortion on Texas court
Pro-life activists are criticizing President Bush's choice of Alberto Gonzales to replace John Ashcroft as attorney general, worrying the White House counsel will not aggressively uphold the administration's anti-abortion stance.
Gonzales is a former member of the Texas Supreme Court, where he voted to allow a teenager to get an abortion without notifying her parents, circumventing the notification law in that state. At the time he criticized the position taken by his colleague on the court, Priscilla Owen, who voted against allowing the abortion. Gonzales said dissenting from his majority opinion "would be an unconscionable act of judicial activism."
His comments later were used by Democrats in the U.S. Senate who blocked Owen's confirmation to the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.
Chuck Baldwin, a pastor and columnist, slammed Gonzales, citing the Texas case and stating, "Gonzales is anything but pro-life." (excerpt)
I am concerned about his upholding ROE, not whether he is pro-life or pro-choice.
Dont you think many personally pro-life judges have voted to uphold abortion laws becasue they were tied by ROE.
Again what make you think Rhenquist is pro-life? Maybe he is pro-choice but understands the role of the judiciary.
