Democratic Presidential Candidates Will Attend NARAL Event

[afuturegovernor]

This might be the biggest fight in the Senate in a generation. Or it could just be a whim. The stakes are high and I have my fingers crossed that the president will make a strong choice to go to the court.

She threatening the Senate Democrats, should any of them show any weakness towards legalized baby killing.

Where's she gonna go if a few abandon her and her ghoulish constituency?

[stevem]

I realize this might be asking a little much, requiring some fortitude and all, but what would happen if a Senate Majority Leader were to say the next item on the floor of the Senate will be a vote on this or these judicial nominees, no matter how long this filibuster lasts.

Another thing would be to bottle up every piece of legislation the liberals want to bring to a vote.

I realize Frist may be one of the pro abortion types, but there ought to be some band of conservatives that can use the filibuster as a club as well as the socialists can.

This here is one of those situations where the conservatives are going to encounter resistance regardless of who they nominate. Unless of course they nominate the good dr kavorkian or some other GNARL Meatgrinder advocate. So the Conservative majority might as well make courageous choices and fight for it in the name of 1st Amendment Free Speech rights. Strong opposition to the Leftist THOUGHT POLICE who want ideological purity in the judiciary.

If Mr Bush wants to take a commanding lead in the polls in 2004, he will stand up and fight against the Leftist Idealogues and stop trying to play to the moderate democrats. Every time Mr Bush gives quarter to the democrats they bludgeon him mercilessly, and this alienates the more right leaning members of the conservative groups. Moderate Libertarians (Im not one) and right leaning conservatives (I MIGHT be one) will RESPECT the president for taking a stand. Do the right thing Mr President, you know what that is and we will support you. Time for Frist to use his surgical skills to go for the jugular.

Bush, don't cave on the life issue. Give us our pro-life judges.

[Godebert]

A spokesman for Senate Democratic Leader Tom Daschle said the South Dakota lawmaker "feels it's vital that all judicial nominees be willing to faithfully respect the Constitution. That said, he will make a judgment on each individual case as it is presented to him."

Where in the Constitution does it say anything about a woman's "right" to murder her unborn child? I don't believe that little bolshevik worm Daschole has ever read the Constitution.

[Fraulein]

Deep down they must know that there is no such constitutional right...

[Bryan]

Yo homey. Chief Justice William H. Rehnquist, for example, is 78, and missed December arguments at the court because of leg surgery. Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, a moderate conservative, is 72. She and the chief justice were both appointed by Republican presidents.

It never ceases to amaze me how the left-wing bias of the press prevents them from just telling the truth. John Paul Stevens, the most liberal justice on the Supreme Court, is 82 years old. Ruth Bader Ginsberg, another very liberal justice, is 72 and a cancer survivor.

O'Connor, while the same age as Ginsberg, is in very good health and will probably serve for many more years. The most likely retirees in the immediate future are Stevens, Ginsberg and Rehnquist, in that order.

I think that the most likely nominees will be Alberto Gonzales, Michael Luttig and John Ashcroft.

Someone call up Robert H. Bork....I want him on the bench!!

[No Dems 2004]

Don't give up hope, folks. This foolish excuse for a woman is full of hot air. I believe good things are going to happen on the Supreme Court.

[solo gringo]

Just because the democraps don't care how many babies they kill does not mean everyone has to live by thier rules.

[savedbygrace]

OK, here's a deal for you, Katie:

One filibuster, and we de-fund Planned Parenthood. And with each filibuster, we de-fund another left-wing organization.

Deal?

[apillar]

Normally I wouldn't condone deceit but....

What if President Bush arranged for an pro-life judge with little to no paper trail to go up to the hill and lie his @ss off long enough to get confirmed, after all Supreme Court Judges are appointed for life and there is really nothing they could do to him .

[Capitalism2003]

Solution: Elect a conservative libertarian!! What a refreshing change that would be. Sure, they would be pro choice, but they would also support social security privatization, the elimination and pretty much all frivolous lawsuits and a drastic reduction in government power. I think it's worth the tradeoff, even for hardcore pro lifers.

[Capitalism2003]

A libertarian would be a solution...The pro death whackos won't have any objection.

Dear President Bush, With the Surpeme Court session getting ready to close, it may well be time for perhaps the most important domestic decision of your presidency: the appointment of a Supreme Court Justice(s). The main reason why I supported you in 2000 and why I wanted Daschle out of power in 02 (and 04) has to do with the courts. I want America courts to interpret law, not write law. During your presidential campaign you said Thomas and Scalia were your two model justices. Those are excellent models. The High Court needs more like them. Clarence Thomas recently said to students that the tough cases were when what he wanted to do was different from what the law said. And he goes by the law. This should be a model philosophy for our justices. Your father, President Bush lost his reelection campaign for 3 main reasosn, as far as I can see. 1. he broke the no new taxes pledge 2. David Souter 3. Clinton convinced people we were in a Bush recession (which we had already come out of by the time Clinton was getting sworn in)

I urge you to learn from all three of these: 1. on taxes, you're doing great. Awesome job on the tax cut. 2. good job so far on judicial appointments. I want to see more of a fight for Estrada, Owen, and Pickering, but I commend you on your nominations. 3. by staying engaged in the economic debate you'll serve yourself well

I have been thoroughly impressed with your handling of al Queida, Iraq, and terrorism. You have inspired confidence and have shown great leadership.

But I want to remind you that your Supreme Court pick(s) will be with us LONG after you have departed office. I urge you to avoid the tempation to find a "compromise" pick. Go for a Scalia or Thomas. Don't go for an O'Connor or Kennedy. To be specific, get someone who is pro-life. Roe v Wade is one of the worst court decisions I know of, and it's the perfect example of unrestrained judicial power.

I know the temptation will be tremendous on you to nominate a moderate. But remember who your true supporters are. I am not a important leader or politician. I am "simply" a citizen who has been an enthusiatic supporter of you. I am willing to accept compromise in many areas of government but I will watch your Court nomiantions extremely closely. What the Senate Dems are doing right now is disgusting, but as the President you have the bully pulpit to stop it. Democrats will back down if you turn up serious heat on them.

Moreover, I think public opinion is shifting towards the pro-life position. Dems will want you to nominate a moderate, but almost all will vote against you anyways. Pro-choice Repubs will likely still vote for you if you nominate a Scalia, after all, you campaigned on it. So Mr. President, I urge you to stick with your campaign statements and nominate justices who believe in judicial restraint, like Scalia and Thomas.

Happy Memorial Day and may God bless you and your family.
