[["Abortion clinic protestors have become synonymous with terrorists and the courts have been the refuge for the besieged"

There is no ambiguity here at all. The courts have been hammering abortion protestors with outrageous judgments, killing the first amendment. Those inside the clinics are "the beseiged" protected by the courts. She is approving the stifling of dissent with bogus RICO judgments because abortion protestors are her enemies too.]]

I suggest you consider history in making your evaluation, according to the Office of International Criminal Justice of the University of Illinois at Chicago, in 1996, there has been "over $13 million in damage caused by violent anti-abortion groups since 1982 in over 150 arson attacks, bombings, and shootings."

Violent anti-abortion groups certainly did act like terrorists and tarred the peaceful pro-life movement. Need I mention Eric Rudolph ? There is plenty of ambiguity, you simply do not want to seek an honest explanation, your whole purpose is to condemn, distort, manipulate, defame and smear. Her statement, with the above consideration of historical fact, is accurate and unimpeachable.

I am leaning against her nomination, but the dishonest tactics being engaged in to crucify her are deplorable. And some of you have the gall to talk about principle ?

I think we can both agree that SOME anti-abortion protestors did act like terrorists. But Miers tars them all with the same brush. That is not accurate.

My comments were motivated not by any love for Mr. Rudolph and his ilk, but by my knowledge, as a lawyer, of how statutes like RICO have been perverted to attack NON-VIOLENT protestors, and how those who merely speak against abortion have been hit with huge damage awards to silence them.
