""Most nominees deflect questions about their views when they are questioned by the Judiciary Committee, but Mr. Estrada may have been even more reticent and cautious. Democrats have asked the Bush administration to provide legal memorandums he wrote while a Justice Department official.""
"May"?
I can't believe the Democrats are getting by with this trash. They need to be forced to *filibuster.*
Make them sleep deprived, and out will come the truth: they'll block anyone who is against killing human beings who aren't a danger to other human lives.
From my e-mail signature IRL:
"Crack the egg of a bird on the Endangered Species list and you'll find that it doesn't matter that the bird embryo or fetus can't survive outside the egg. You've still broken the Endangered Species Act. "
Perhaps, some day, the penalties will be at least as severe for killing a child as for killing an eagle.
After all, as someone who practices human medicine, I know that elective abortion kills humans. (and so do the pro-aborts.)
I commend you dedication to life, and share your revulsion at the practice of abortion.
As for Estrada's nomination, imagine that today, the GOP-led Senate were to come out and spend most of its time on Estrada, and further, forces the Senate into non-stop session. Put that in the context of President Bush's press conference yesterday. I think most of the public would sense a disconnect. That the GOP-leadership in the Senate was fixated on Estrada, while the President and most of the world is fixated on Iraq. I beleiev teh press would have a heyday with that disconnect. I believe the disconnect would do more harm to the advancement of Estrada to the bench, than it would to help.
But, your opinion that a 24/7 is the way to go is a popular one. Maybe even the majority position. You might be resolute in that opinion. I am resolute in mine, and it will be fine if we just agree to disagree on the subject of the wisdom of the path the GOP-Senate is taking.
