Our Judges Should Embody Fairness and Respect

Stop Bush from Appointing Unqualified Judges

Since February, Senate Democrats have blocked the arch-conservative Migel Estrada from getting appointed to the Federal Appellate Court. It is time for them to step up again

The Senate is expected to vote by the end of July on the confirmation of the next truly offensive judicial nominee, Carolyn Kuhl, who has a record of attempting to undermine laws protecting basic civil rights:

She favored weakening laws against sexual harassment in the workplace; She supported tax exemptions for Bob Jones University, despite its racist policies; She advocates overturning laws giving environmental, labor, and other organizations the right to defend their members' interests in court. We are joining these groups in calling upon our Senators to refuse lifetime tenure for Kuhl as a federal appellate judge:

AFL-CIO

Feminist Majority

National Council for Jewish Women

People for the American Way

United Farm Workers

National Organization for Women

This is the latest email from MoveOn.org. Keep in mind that this is the group that originally attracted members because who did not want to see a rush to war in Iraq.

Lighten Up, Francis!

Fundraising posts only happen quarterly, and are gone as soon as we meet the goal. Help make it happen.

If People for the American Way don't like him he must be a winner.Moveon is associated with commie/socialists.

What I found really over the top is that the email says "Stop Bush from Appointing Unqualified Judges", yet it writes only about some of her positions and some of the groups which oppose her. What is the implication...that anyone who disagrees with this group is "unqualified"?

Arrogance or deviousness? You decide.

[MEG33]

I misspoke and said he.All of these groups are People AGAINST the American Way.

[Bullish]

These people are really asking for it.

Carolyn Kuhl, who has a record of attempting to undermine laws protecting basic civil rights:

Yes, because we all know liberal judicial appointments do no such thing. /sarcasm

[Dahoser]

She favored weakening laws against sexual harassment in the workplace;

Pretty ironic for an organization whose genesis was urging people to ignore the Rapist-in-Chief's sexual harassment of his subordinate, Monica Lewinsky.
