Statement Of Senator Barbara Boxer On The Nomination Of Judge John G. Roberts

July 19, 2005

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."

If Hillary is the devil's wife, Barbara Boxer is the devil's mistress.

The tiny woman inside a womb has very little choice when she is dismembered in a late-term abortion. Some restrictions on abortion are reasonable, even if abortion remains legal by federal edict. O'Connor was wrong in her opinions on late-term abortions.

or failing that drag the process on interminably i.e. delay, delay, delay .

Has anyone started a pool on how long it will be before we hear that the nomination is not ready to go to a vote because we merry band of nutcase senators have not been given the information we have demanded and without which we cannot properly do our jobs?

a woman’s right to choose ... and a family-friendly workplace

She used these two phrases in the same sentence. The irony might be laughable if it wasn't so tragic. There's very little 'family-friendliness', Ms. Boxer, in the 'choice' to suck the brains out of an innocent, defenseless, trusting baby.

Too bad that Boxer's mother didn't believe in abortion.

Again, my apologies to the other 49 states that our once-fair state afflicted the country and the U.S. Senate with Mesdames Boxer and Feinstein, two of the worst whackos in Congress.

If you look closely at Boxer's statement, you can see the the name "Edith Clement" has been whited out and the name "John G. Roberts" typed in on top. These dems truly are scumbags!

"I look forward to the in-depth hearings by the Judiciary Committee and a further evaluation of this nominee."

Oh no, ... I predict many more charts.



Senator Barbara Boxer, D-Calif., and Rep. Jane Harman, D-Calif., right, discuss the leaking of a CIA operative's identity during a news conference on Capitol Hill Wednesday, July 20, 2005 in Washington.

Does this mean FDR's 'third term' is finally coming to an end?

Sixty years later and Boxer still can't remove her face from the buttcheeks of socialism/communism.

Why Ms Boxer? Please cite some actual facts or is it that you don't have any?

I am amazed that the first thing out of their mouths every single time they open it - is abortion. It is truly sickening.
That's actually a very good point and might be used to good advantage. "The democrat party - defending your right to kill your babies!" Maybe a bumper sticker? ;-)

Babs challenging Roberts is no big deal. Roberts will swat her away like a fly on a donkey! You get to pick out the donkey! Image hosted by Photobucket.com Image hosted by Photobucket.com Image hosted by Photobucket.com

THe Marine second from the right looks like he's combining his thousand-mile stare with a good case of "stank-eye."

"The burden is on a nominee to the Supreme Court to prove that he is worthy, not on the Senate to prove that he is unworthy."

Schumer... that guy chimed in today too! How come Judicial Nominees are guilty until proven innocent? I guess that's the Democratic way! Show trials and abortion on demand. No wonder the PRC donates so much money to Democrats, they are almost identical ideologically.
