Democrats are prepared to filibuster to block any anti-abortion nominee proposed to replace Sandra Day O'Connor on the Supreme Court, Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-Calif., said Tuesday.
"The filibuster is on the table. It's been on the table for 200 years," Boxer said when asked what methods could be used to block a Supreme Court candidate who would seek to overturn Roe v. Wade, the three-decade old decision legalizing abortion.

Boxer called a threat to legalized abortion an "extraordinary circumstance."
"It means a minimum of 5,000 women a year will die. So all options are on the table," she said.
Boxer called O'Connor a crucial moderate voice, saying the first female appointed to the high court was a strong backer of environmentalism and reproductive rights.
"She has been a powerful voice for moderation," Boxer said. "This is a philosophy her successor should embrace ... We cannot go back to the dark days. Roe must remain the law of the land."

Babs is an idiot.
The Demonrats are employing a religious test for sitting on the Supreme Court in clear violation of our Constitution.
I do believe the roots of the tree of Liberty have become a might parched.
Agreed - but the insightful voters of my great State re-elected her just last year. Funny thing is that Babs never mentions the 500,000 minimum (slightly younger) women that die annually from abortion as it is now.
As opposed to their preferred outcome - hundreds of thousands of dead babies.
The Tree of Liberty died a couple weeks ago with the Kelo decision, although there are a few surviving cuttings that were scavenged from it. Somewhere.
That's what you get when you make a deal with the devil. Wake the ---- up Republicans.
'Tis a shame she wasn't aborted. ;)
So it is ok that 100,000 kids die every yaer, witch? Buck Foxer.
Luckily, we still have recourse left to us in the political arena. If we get another Souter appointed to the SCOTUS, I will never vote GOP again.
A million plus at current rates.
This of course is utter BS.
The only "extraordinary circumstance" is that this bimbo is a sitting U.S. Senator
Idiot? I say she's stupid. I cannot believe how incredibly stupid. I mean rock-hard stupid. Dehydrated-rock-hard stupid. Stupid, so stupid it goes way beyond the stupid we know into a whole different dimension of stupid.
She is trans-stupid stupid. Meta-stupid. Stupid collapsed on itself so far that even the neutrons have collapsed. Stupid gotten so dense that no intellect can escape. Singularity stupid. Blazing hot mid-day sun on Mercury stupid. More stupid in one second than our entire galaxy emits in a year.
Quasar stupid.
Nothing in our universe can really be this stupid. Perhaps this is some primordial fragment from the original big bang of stupid. Some pure essence of a stupid so uncontaminated by anything else as to be beyond the laws of physics that we know.
I'm sorry. I can't go on. This is an epiphany of stupid for me.
Does she not realize how ridiculous this statement is? Oh, never mind. Dumb question.
