" How many millions more are we going to allow the Democrats to kill in the womb before someone steps up to the plate?"
In addition to ROE, the KELO decision is of great importance, the abolition of private property is one of the goals in the communist manifesto.
imagine waco style attacks on property owners who refuse to hand it over to the government.
Maybe those who've said they were going to outlaw abortion would rather keep things the way they are, in order to use it as a fund raising and a get out the vote issue.
"So let them drag out the embarrassing dirty laundry. Who cares? How many millions more are we going to allow the Democrats to kill in the womb before someone steps up to the plate?"
Well yes, from OUR (the public) viewpoint it is best to get the paper-trailed qualified judge up there, despite whatever is brought out, pubic hair, devil worshipping, eating cute animals, whatever. It is time to BEAT the dnc once and for all and establish that the president can put his judges in place with his senate. That still has not happened.
For many of us the judge issue is one of the biggest reasons to put up with many of the domestic antics of this administration. I am not sure what your views are on the ones I am thinking of (border control/lack of, breathtaking deficit spending with huge spending increases, no child left behind, senior drug plan) but there are valid conservative concerns (or outrage) on any of the above. Re-establishing conservative voting majority on scotus would almost be worth all of that, despite the huge forward spending the senior drug plan is going to bring in.
It is another issue to be the judge(s) who are actually being asked to be burned at the stake with NO guarantee the GOP senate will actually push them through. From the viewpoint of the sacrificial lamb I can certainly understand some hesitation about going to the altar. I bet we don't know a quarter of what some of the appelate judges who were on hold for years went through, if it was enough for some to withdraw their acceptance of appelate nomination.
