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."
Translation: I look forward to ganging up with my fellow Democrats to find some insignificant issue to destroy Roberts with.
Allow me to expand on what you said...
Translation: I look forward to ganging up with my fellow Democrats to find some insignificant issue to destroy Roberts with, or failing that drag the process on interminably i.e. delay, delay, delay .
I look forward to saying whatever soros tells me to say.
What you said!
Babs, you've grown out of diapers now; quit whining.
That's all Boxer wants, an independent, non-ideological judge that will agree with her, the biggest political hack in the senate.
"....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."
If the majority voted and won, is it really the right wing?
Translation: We haven't found yet what we are going to try to hang him with.
Love your comment and tagline
Thanks
I think it's the case that O'Connor said she would remain until the successor was confirmed. I think this is why you hear he Rats mantra of in depth hearings later rather than sooner and why the president has emphasized the importance of Roberts being in place at the start of next term's festivities at the beginning of October. The Rats know they can win just by dragging their furry little feet.
Gosh, you're good. I didn't get past "Statement Of Senator Barbara Boxer".
(Denny Crane: "Sometimes you can only look for answers from God and failing that... and Fox News".)
Why no, there is, of course, Gay Marriage and the entire Homosexual agenda.
After that? zzzz
Well, thank you. You're the first to comment on my tagline, btw. So far, I've got a 100% favorable rating, then. ;)
"What took so long, sinator boxer, the release was already written."
Somebody on her staff had already written in Edith Brown Clement. So Babs tried to correct it on her own. A staff member came into her office and found her applying white out to the computer screen. Not only that, but she had spilled the bottle and white out was all over her desk. It was quite a mess. It took a while for the staff to clean it up and edit the statement.
They keep telling Babs she shouldn't try to do these things herself, but she's not a good listener.
As Governor Arnold says, "Why should we listen to losers?"
I find it amazing that every time Boxer's lips move, Teddy Kennedy's words come out.
Diane Feinstein was mayor of SF.....I live in Marin County, 10 minutes from where this hag lives. I am disgusted by her and the foaming at the mouth liberals.To hear this lunatic talk about "mainstream" is a joke.
I have always wondered why the most vocal abortionist are well past their reproductive age or are lesbians.
