WASHINGTON, Sept. 5 /U.S. Newswire/ -- Following is a statement by National Organization for Women President Kim Gandy on the nomination of John Roberts to chief justice:
"The National Organization for Women has been outspoken in our opposition to the nomination of an anti-women's rights, anti-civil rights judge, John G. Roberts, to sit on the U.S. Supreme Court. Now that Roberts' attitudes toward women have been revealed, it is an outrage and an insult to the women of this country that George W. Bush has nominated such a jurist to be Chief Justice of the United States.
"First, there cannot be a 'stealth nominee' for Chief Justice. Bush must release every document from Roberts' tenure as Principal Deputy Solicitor General under the first President Bush, and any remaining writings from his time as an advisor to the Reagan administration. How dare Bush nominate this candidate for the top position on the Supreme Court when his administration has deliberately concealed hundreds of thousands of pages of his writings, during a time that he was one of the top lawyers representing the people of the United States? If the Bush administration refuses to release these papers, we must ask ourselves what they are hiding. And the Senate must ask the same question.
"The Senate Judiciary Committee and the full Senate must find its collective spine and not roll over for Bush's favored candidate. They must refuse to move forward until all requested documents are released, and they must ask even tougher questions of Roberts because of the critical nature of the Chief Justice appointment.

You got all you're getting, NAG's! So STFU!
Memo to NOW:
You don't speak for all women.
Just as reactionary black leftists emptily claim to speak for all blacks, so too do reactionary womyn leftists emptily claim to speak for all women.
Tain't so.
NOW sure as hell doesn't speak for the women aborted in this country every year. Half of all abortions murder a human female. NOW doesn't care about those women, because the industrialized killing in abortuaries is a profit center for them.
I am OUTRAGED that this woman would slander a well respected jurist. It is an insult to the President and the Senate for her to presume to direct them.
The NOW represents very few women and most of them are misfits.
That'd almost be worth owning a TiVo.
Not everybody agrees:

Oh, and her new biography is almost out: here's a promo cover:
Let me be the first to extend to her a heartfelt **yawn**.
Did it ever occur to the bi-pedal douchebag that runs NOW, that President Bush might just have everything required to put Roberts in as Chief Justice? While crushing the yammerings of aged, decerpeit 60s bra burners and their girlie-men compatriots?
Jack.
Outrage to a minority of special interest women maybe...
Enraged serial murderers (NOW) are a menace to society.
Not this woman.
Much higher than that, worldwide.
I had a picture of Molly to post, but it made me throw-up, and I did not want to ruin my fellow freepers Labor Day! (actually, I don't know how to get a photo to post)
And as long as you're going to post a pic of Molly Ivins we're not telling you, either. ;-)
so...the 16 people that NOW represents are upset...
big whup!
I'd donate a $1,000 to the RNC today if he would say two words: Miguel Estrada.
Lets not get crazy. You can take me to the local Ruths Chris, we can yell Imigration and nominate an Irishman for $250. :)
LOL......you think we'd get out for $250?
I would think you would have to be a real woman to understand such motivation.
Not really, but we can 1 hell of a good time.
