Lesbian nominee approved by Senate committee despite pro-family outcry
Washington D.C., Dec 11, 2009 / 12:48 pm (CNA).- Despite the complaints of her critics that she supports same-sex "marriage" as well as previously endorsing polygamous relationships, the Senate HELP Committee on Thursday approved the nomination of Chai Feldblum to be one of five commissioners on the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, and sent her nomination to the Senate for a full confirmation.
“At this time of challenge, Americans need committed, capable public servants working full time on their behalf,” said Sen. Tom Harkin (D-Iowa), Chairman of the Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP) on Thursday. “These nominees will serve Americans by protecting workers from discrimination, facilitating public service and preserving our rich national traditions in the humanities. I am pleased to move their nominations forward.”
The nominations for all the EEOC members were not considered by the HELP committee indivually but were instead voted on "en bloc," according to a press release.
Feldblum, who was nominated to the EEOC by President Obama on September 15, is not a stranger to controversial topics.
She served as one of the leading expert in the creation of the Employment Nondiscrimination Act (ENDA), which would create a federal ban on workplace discrimination on the grounds of sexual orientation. Feldblum has also worked to advance lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender rights throughout her career.
Another action of Feldblum's that has drawn criticism is her signing of a manifesto titled, “Beyond Same-Sex Marriage: A New Strategic Vision for all Our Families and Relationships.” The declaration was released on July 26 of 2006 and supported the idea of “committed, loving households in which there is more than one conjugal partner.” The document was signed by various activists, writers, artists, clergy and academics, including Feldblum who has taught at the Georgetown University Law Center since 1991.
In November of this year, after her nomination to the EEOC in September, Feldblum asked for her name to be removed.
Despite her efforts to tamp down controversy, pro-family and pro-woman organizations remain unconvinced.
“Chai Feldblum is absolutely dedicated to granting rights for engaging in non-heterosexual, non-monogamous sex that would be superior to religious freedom,” Wendy Wright, president of Concerned Women for America (CWA) told CNA.
“She seeks to change the social and sexual mores of America which would take a jackhammer to America's foundation.
“Her end goal, as she has stated, is 'Gays win; Christians lose,'” Wright warned.
When asked about the significance of Feldblum's nomination to the EEOC, Wright told CNA that “as an EEOC commissioner, she would have inordinate power to impose her ideology on Americans by requiring workplaces to conform to her views on sexuality and (this would result in) delegitimizing religious beliefs.”
“Judeo-Christian values on marriage, family, children and sex – bedrock virtues for a functioning society – would be targeted for punishment by Feldblum,” continued Wright. “Feldblum would have federal regulations deny human nature. She would require people to ignore nature and embrace – and subsidize – unnatural and harmful behavior and living arrangements.”
“For Feldblum, 'sexual liberties' trump religious liberty,” Wright charged. “For a lawyer, this is an extraordinary and deliberate deviation from the constitution.”
Wright's claim was also echoed by the Traditional Values Coalition (TVC), which sent a letter signed by dozens of pro-family groups and individuals to the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP) Committee.
"Ms. Feldblum has a system of identifying rights which is separate and very different from that in the Constitution," said TVC Executive Director Andrea Lafferty.
"She uses terms like 'belief liberty' and 'sexual liberty' and concludes generally that a 'sexual liberty' claim always trumps any objection or claim of those who are asserting a religious belief.”
Chai Feldblum's nomination now goes to the full Senate for confirmation.
Damn, the scumbags keep rolling in.
I would demand pictures to judge for ourselves, but I just had lunch, and I fear the worst.
Obviously Obama and his thugs don’t know any decent, normal people. IMPEACH and clean the filth out of our White House.
Surely she means "more than TWO".
In previous arguments with my lib friends, they have strongly defended the Obamaloon’s intelligence.
Now this.
They’re beginning to concede that I may be correct.
Can he be this stupid?
.
You have nailed it!
How far down does he dig to come up with all these low life's?
Washington D. C. the modern Sodom and Gomorrah!
You just knew it, didn't you?
The rot that has moved in continues to add to its circus of freaks who have nothing to do with the functioning of America.....
Rot digging is wAYYYYYY OVERDUE, 2010 cant come soon enough!
How far down does he dig to come up with all these low life’s?
When you’re a Communist, not very far! Communists, psychopaths and deviants flock together, so to speak...
>> Sexual practice as a civil right <<
Between two people of consenting age on their own property in their own house is their own right(already covered by property rights and inalienable rights). Because they own their property they are doing it on.
Of course they want us to think that such acts on public property should be acceptable, but it is in fact not. They want us to be kicked off public property for free speech concerning religion, but want to let people fornicate in public. They have gone too far!
>> “Her end goal, as she has stated, is ‘Gays win; Christians lose’”... <<
Maybe Married Christians will end up having to strip down in front of GLBT centers and have reproductive sex in their front yards. I have to wonder if they would enjoy breeders making more christian babies on their doorsteps. I would imagine a lot of Christians would do this if they were afrid of catching something off the pavement or lawns in front of such places.
In spite of the passing resemblance, Ms. Feldblum is the radical lesbian, Harvard-educated law professor who almost single-handedly wrote the Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA), thus resulting in the forced expenditure of billions of dollars and a significant reduction in America's Gross Domestic Product.
So while she not technically a "dick", I might guess she's ever been close to one, at least of the sort that does not possess an on/off switch.
Just what we need; a bull dike preaching equal opportunity. She should fit in rather nicely in this abomination of an administration.
Ew.
I keep telling Libertarians, this is why it matters what people do in their bedroom, it doesn't stay in their bedrooms.
Oh if only I could get a Beit Din to rule on excommunicating this bugger.
