NOW 'Outraged' Over Roberts Pick (Warning: TOO HILARIOUS)
Newsmax ^

NOW 'Outraged' Over Roberts Pick

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.

Story Continues Below

"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.

"Second, NOW is even more concerned that John Roberts, as Chief Justice, will have a greater opportunity to move the Court and our country backward. The Chief Justice plays a key role in leading the Court, including deciding who writes certain opinions, making numerous appointments within the judicial system, and presiding, alone, over presidential impeachment hearings.

"If Roberts is confirmed as Chief Justice, Bush will have established right-wing leadership of the Court for another 30 years - a lifetime legacy of the Bush presidency that women and girls will have a lifetime to regret.

"Third, I am taken aback (but not surprised) by Bush's cynicism and lack of compassion in nominating Chief Justice William Rehnquist's successor even as his body is being prepared to lie in repose at the Court. Bush's lack of sensitivity has been on prominent display this past month as he avoided Gold Star mom Cindy Sheehan and was stubbornly slow responding to the humanitarian crisis in New Orleans and Mississippi.

"With the South still in turmoil from Hurricane Katrina, Bush is pressuring the Senate to rush through this very important process and confirm John Roberts to a lifetime as Chief Justice while the country is looking the other way.

"Finally, Bush now has a second opportunity to honor Sandra Day O'Connor's legacy by naming a moderate woman to replace her as associate justice. He can get it right this time, and if Bush needs any help finding a woman who will uphold women's rights, NOW will be happy to help."

This is how it read before Bush nominated Roberts:

NOW 'Outraged' Over ___________ Pick

Following is a statement by National Organization for Women President Kim Gandy on the nomination of ____________ 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, _____________, to sit on the U.S. Supreme Court.

They just filled in the blanks.

I thought NOW was in a constant state of outrage. How is this different?

BTW, do they really think 8 years time will repair their credibility with women?

"Its just about sex, not sexual harassment"

"One free grope"

[excludes the VA chapter of NOW - at least they have some honor left for breaking with national]

No. But, it is extremely good comical relief for the day.

Oh. The abortion Nazis are upset on behalf of women everywhere.

Strange, no one elected them the official mouthpiece for anything other than socialist eugenics.

They, and the rest of the left, would not be happy unless Fidel Castro was nominated to the court.

Gold Star mom Cindy Sheehan

Mother Moonbat is now a 'Gold Star Mom'. I wonder how long it will be till CNN starts calling her that ... lol.

I agree with you though, if it 'outrages' this band of lunaticts, its gotta be good.

Just one of many forms from their We-hate-Republicans file. By contrast, they likely have nothing but gushing, sycophantic, puppy-love-like fawning forms for democRATic presidents.

Perhaps the silly cow should "put a little ice on that"...

NOW could worship and support a rapist, but they're outraged over President Bush's nomination of Roberts?

Jeeeze, it doesn't get any dumber that that, does it?

Semper Fi

Chief Justice John G. Roberts looks more and more like a perfect choice.
