Washington, D.C. – U.S. Senator Barbara Boxer (D-CA) today issued the following statement regarding the President’s nomination of Judge John G. Roberts to replace Justice Sandra Day O’Connor on the United States Supreme Court:
"Without prejudging the nominee, I do believe Judge Roberts’ record raises questions about his commitment to the right to privacy, protection of the environment, and other important issues.
"With so many rights of the American people hanging in the balance, this Supreme Court nomination deserves a thorough and in-depth evaluation.
"Justice Sandra Day O’Connor’s replacement could take one of two paths: Judge Roberts could go down the same independent, non-ideological road as Justice O’Connor, or he could join with the right-wing block on the Court which has consistently expressed the belief that a woman’s right to choose isn’t guaranteed, nor is the federal government’s ability to protect workers, the environment, and a family-friendly workplace.
"I look forward to the in-depth hearings by the Judiciary Committee and a further evaluation of this nominee."
"I look forward to the in-depth hearings by the Judiciary Committee and a further evaluation of this nominee."
Translation: I look forward to ganging up with my fellow Democrats to find some insignificant issue to destroy Roberts with.
"Without prejudging the nominee, I will now prejudge the nominee."
Is that what you read? I read, "Without prejudging the nominee, blah, blah, blah..."
I swear this woman is a lobotomy victim/candidate.....
I am amazed that the first thing out of their mouths every single time they open it - is abortion. It is truly sickening.
Is this the only thing they have going for them?
"Without prejudging the nominee, I do believe FILL IN THE BLANK record raises questions about his commitment to the right to privacy, protection of the environment, and other important issues.
What took so long, sinator boxer, the release was already written. It would have read the same no matter the identity of the candidate.
Go ahead and ask him his views on Roe. He'll refuse to answer - doing exactly what Ginsberg did during her confirmation hearing.
So will Babs attack him? Probably - Dems could care less any more about their naked hypocrisy.
Pray for W and Our Freedom Fighters
ROFL..I don't know why? I'm not surprised or anything.
Sen. Barbara Boxer: "I look forward to the in-depth hearings by the Judiciary Committee and a further evaluation of this nominee."
Syncro: "Translation - I look forward to ganging up with my fellow Democrats to find some insignificant issue to destroy Roberts with."
Like some "hair on a Coke can" remark.
Senator DumbasaBOXERrocks didn't mention trying to find out the nominee's views on the actual Constitution!
"Block"? I had to go to the source to make sure you weren't pulling our legs on that. Dated yesterday, too. Oh, no! Not prejudging the man are we?
We Win. You lose. Life is good.
You know, one would think that the old, tired, liberal Dem playbook would have expired by now...well, maybe it has, and the Dems are just now realizing it.
The majority of them, as intellectually bankrupt and handicapped as they are, are as blatantly exposed now, as a huge billboard sign. Let these fools and idiots continue to spray the MSM and us with all their senseless rhetoric of hate and irrelevancy, so that America will see how utterly obstructionist and USELESS they are to real America. Boxer, another of the socialists damaging the state of California, is quite absent of anything intellectual -- just more ramblings as usual, a rubber stamp of all the well-known troublemakers.
Don't those jarheads look *thrilled* to be with her?
Umm, Babs, your ignorance is on display here.
I'm not interested in what Judge Roberts thinks about privacy, the environment and other important issues.
I want Judge Roberts to have a solid legal and Constitutional basis for his decisions, rather than finding penumbras or quoting laws that were written in other countries.
As far as I'm concerned, I'd could care less if Judge Roberts dresses in a pink tutu and waltzes across the Brooklyn Bridge as long as he remains a strict constructionist when it comes to Supreme Court rulings.
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ....oh, I'm sorry was Ba Ba talking?
She needs new talking points. Reminds me an old joke about convicts numbering jokes and just saying the [joke] number because everyone knew the joke already.
#38....ha ha ha ha
Talk about irony in picture form! Egads!
Article states, "Judge Roberts could .....join with the right-wing block on the Court."
We can only hope! She says that like it's a bad thing!
