"It means a minimum of 5,000 women a year will die.

Expect gallons more of this type of demagoguery. There is a silver lining here beyond the fact that we have the votes. With the media chasing down every wacked out Democrat charge, accusation, and scandal, perhaps some serious work in the War on Terror can now be accomplished. The enemy will find far less encouragement from Supreme Court fights over abortion than they have over prison abuse scandals, Koran flushings and withdrawal schedules. Shhhh, don't tell the DUmmies, let them go on and on and on over abortion.

I don't think it will be Gonzales -- yet.

What does one water the Tree of Liberty with?

"we have alot more problems with our own republican senators then we do with Bush himself. if we don't see a conservative appointment, I believe it will be because the backchannel word from our own senators is that the votes are not there to confirm someone like Luttig for example."

I agree the problem is with the Repub Senators (see my reference to unseating DeWine elsewhere on this thread).

However, Bush must step up here, regardless of back channel messages. He must follow through and nominate an originalist or something close to, as he has promised. Make the traitors show their colors, if they will. Give us something to strike back at---and someone to believe in as well (the President.)

PArty registration to what? The liberaltarians?

[clawrence3]

Good point - Bush may nominate Gonzales if he gets a second, or third, vacancy.

Does this corrupt politician practice what she preaches? She screams "Democracy, democracy" all the time but objects to the actual practice of democracy.

Overturning Roe v Wade would just turn it over to the States. What is wrong with that? Is there a Constitutional Amendment allowing abortion on demand?

All the pro-murder people out there leave your emanations and penumbras at home. The same Court you worship is the same court that told us a black person was a fraction.

It's all they got left ..........

And what do Lindsey, Mike and McCain have to say to this?

[Fudd Fan]

Well of course! That's an entirely different issue. My point was, the RATs are only spiting themselves.

Sorry - here is the pro-life plank of the Constitution Party: http://www.constitutionparty.com/party_platform.php#Sancity%20of%20Life

I would suggest joining a campaign to oust a sitting Republican Traitor Senator (one of the 7 Dwarves or Gang of 14) in a 2006 primary---to send a message

That is my take also.

"We've got to make it crystal clear to the moderate Americans, that if the woman's life is in danger because of the pregnancy, that abortion is then acceptable."

Agreed. But we have to have a real definition of what "in danger" means. This does not include "psycogilacal" danger or "Oh gee, my figure will never be the same and I'm a model" danger. Both are currently accepted claims of "My life is in danger." You can recover from psycogilacal damage and you can always find a different line of work. No one recovers from being aborted.

Any mention of the million babies that are murdered in the mother's womb every year.

PSSST! On the down-low: I got a now-contraband copy of the onstitution-Cay of the ited-Unay tates-Say. More than one, actually. That plus the eclaration-Day of dependence-Inay and, if you can believe it, the ayflower-May opact-Cay.

I'll not risk telling about any alleged KJV's I may purportedly know of on the government property where I'm currently the highest-bidding squatter.

I hear ya, I live in NJ.

"During the "House bank" scandal of 1992, it came out - though only in Washington and California - that the then-Rep. Boxer had written 143 worthless checks in 39 months on the House bank. That prompted Boxer to tell the Sacramento Bee that "I didn't pay enough attention to my personal checking account" - which the paper quoted in a Mar. 21, 1992 article on Boxer's bad-check problem. But it was worse than Boxer let on, because the bad checks totaled $41,417 - or an average of $289.63 for each of her worthless checks. And the 143 bad checks were a very-appreciable part of her entire check writing during those 39 months; with Boxer claiming to the Sacramento Bee that she'd only written about 1,600 checks during that time, bad checks were roughly 9% of all checks Boxer wrote during that period."

Did you say left? And they couldn't get it with votes so they had a judge discover a new "right". Yeah, left is what it is.
