It doesn't surprise me about Kennedy at all.

Two "Catholic" justices were largely responsible for Roe v. Wade. One was Justice Brennan, who was the real author of Roe v. Wade and who used Blackmun, who was actually rather stupid, as his sock puppet. The other was Kennedy.

The bishops have a heavy burden on their consciences for not having dealt with these two Catholic justices as they should have been dealt with.

And let's not forget Sandra Day O'Connor, supposedly a Republican, and David Souter, also a Republican nominee, probably the worst mistake since Eisenhower appointed Earl Warren.

Republican Presidents who appoined the Warrens-thru-Souters have the excuse that they had to get them through Dim controlled Senates. Bush will not have that excuse. We'll see.

The Dems successfully lied about Bork, and that is when Anthony Kennedy was nominated. The Dems accomplished their mission of getting somebody who would be "flexible" and who would "grow". Their resistance is also why we got people like Souter and O'Connor. We desperately need people like Scalia and Thomas, and that is who the Dems will attack with all of their might because they know what the stakes are.

One of the few things that I've disagreed with Reagan about (another was amnesty for illegals). He appointed O'Connor simply because she was a woman. Not because she was the most qualified. He caved in to loud mouthed Feminists, and America has suffered because of it. When she finally leaves the bench, I hope that Bush nominates the best Judge, not the best Woman Judge.

Two "Catholic" justices were largely responsible for Roe v. Wade.

Last figures I saw claimed that Protestants outnumbered Catholics 3:1.

Judges are appointed by those that the populace elect.

The abortion holocaust was originated, and is sustained by apostate protestants who could care less.

Jesus, in Matthew 19:18 reiterated Deuteronomy 5:17 "You must not murder," and that Paul stated in Romans 13:3 "For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same: 13:4 For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil. 13:5 Wherefore ye must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake."

Jefferson & Paul agree that the fundamental purpose of government is to secure rights granted by God by punishing evil and it does 'outside the abortion context.'

Abortion is Shedding of Innocent Blood. Abortion is the shedding of innocent blood. The blood of an unborn child is separate from that of its mother at 21days gestation and is a person from conception (Luke 1:42-43). As you know, killing such a child violates God's laws in the Decalogue (Exodus 20:13). God hates such killing (Proverbs 6:16-17) and it defiles the land (Numbers35:33). God is personally pledged to avenge the shedding of innocent blood (Deuteronomy 32:43).
National Responsibility and Judgment. For shedding of innocent blood in Israel God brought a series of escalating judgments culminating in the Babylonian captivity in 586 B.C. (Psalm 106:36-43; Jeremiah 33:35,36) and, according to Jesus (Matthew 23:34,35; Luke 11:49-51), the life for life judgment and total destruction of Jerusalem in 70 A.D. To the idolatry of Israel involving child sacrifice to Baal and Molech in exchange for material wealth and to celebrate sexual promiscuity, we have added an idol of convenience. As it did in the slavery debate, the nation not only permits the individual to commit an abortion in sin, it affords Constitutional protection and the full force of federal and state government to protect the activity-and in many instances taxpayer funds to pay for it.
Individual, Corporate, and Leadership Responsibility. Each person responsible for an abortion is under a life for life judgment (Genesis 9:6; Numbers 35:31) and their entire family falls under judgment as well (Leviticus 20:4,5). There is also a collective responsibility that each person has for all abortions. The answer to Cain's question,"Am I my brother's keeper?" is found in Genesis 9:5: "And from each man will I demand an accounting for the life of his fellow man." In God's judgment of Israel in 586 B.C., He held responsible the national leaders (Zephaniah 1:7,8), the prophets and priests (Lamentations 3:12,13), elders (Ezekiel 9:4-6), and complacent men (Zephaniah 1:12).
The Declaration of Independence is an Instrument of Judgment. The "Equal Creation" principles in the Declaration of Independence were the cry of the anti-slavery crusade for 30 years. Today most evangelical leaders and many presidential candidates reference the same document and the Creator's "endowment of unalienable rights" in the fight against big government and abortion rights. What they fail to mention is that this document is also an instrument of judgment. They overlook its "execution" provisions. In its first paragraph, the very existence of the nation is pinned to the "laws of nature and nature's God." For Jefferson's contemporaries, this phrase meant the Romans 2:15 law written on every man's heart, whether Christian or not, as tested by the Christian Bible. After a detailed list of the sins of the government of King George III by implication in violation of these laws, the document declares that " all political connection between [the colonial states] and the state of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved." In Matthew 7:1, Jesus tells us that in the same manner and measure that we judge others, we will receive judgment ourselves. Judgment upon America in the same manner and measure mandates a dissolution - the natural consequence of violating God's laws on which her formation was premised. Abortion as "Shedding Innocent Blood" & Lessons Toward Repentance ...

The protestants have the numbers to end mass murder and they refuse to do it. There are atheists who are pro-life Some Information on LFL, but they don't have the numbers.

My fellow Protestants reject the Torah, Jesus, Jefferson, the Constitution and plain common sense while singing God Bless American and pledging allegiance to the Flag…no longer under God.

Don't forget ol' Willian O. Douglas and his influence on Blackmun.

Douglas invented that nefarious measuring rod of juridical reasoning called "penumbras and emanations," i.e. "things that are not in the Constitution but we wish they were."

Armed with such a weapon, the Supreme Court can arbitrarily make or break laws at will, a dream for liberals, a nightmare for conservatives.

You know it really amazes me, the left NEVER makes these kinds of mistakes.
