Hillary: Bush Court Picks are Anti-Civil Rights
NewsMax.com ^ | July 22, 2005 | Carl Limbacher

2008 presidential candidate Hillary Clinton is firing up the troops for the coming battle over the Supreme Court - taping a message for her supporters accusing President Bush of appointing judges who want undo the accomplishments of the civil rights movement.

In a "conversation" with Georgia Rep. John Lewis - videotaped shortly before Sandra Day O'Connor announced her retirement and posted to Clinton's web site in the last few days - the top Democrat hails the Warren court's landmark Brown vs Board of Education school desegregation decision.

Then Hillary warns darkly: "What we are experiencing today is a real movement to turn the clock back on the rights of Americans."

"Unfortunately, the people who are being appointed to the courts all too often have a pre-existing idea of what they're going to decide," she complains.

After praising the Warren Court, Clinton notes: "This year we have another very important anniversary. It's the anniversary of the Voting Rights Act."

At that point Rep. Lewis jumps in:

"That was a time when you had bold leadership from a president," he lamented. "But today there's a mindset to take us back - undo the New Deal, undo the Great Society, undo a lot of the things that your husband stood for and was able to accomplish."

Hillary assured Lewis there was no real cause for worry, saying, "I have a lot of faith in the American people and I believe we've come too far to turn back now."

She then tells supporters to stay tuned: "If there is an opening on the Supreme Court this summer, as there well might be, I hope that every American follows this debate."

And Justice Ginsberg didn't have "pre-existing ideas" before she was named to the high court? What balderdash.

So far it looks like she's got her puppet (Chuckie Schooma) making all the noise. I'm anxious for her to go on record with similar statements and demands as Schooma has already made.

LOL. We are going to resegregate the schools. Right! How about the unspoken dem law that if you are not liberal, you are really not black, or hispanic or whatever. LOL. These people are simply nuts.

Guess Ms. Clinton's move to the middle has stalled! :)

Just think some Freepers on here were ready to vote for her because of her rhetoric on immigration like every thing out of mouth was the truth. If this doesn't convince every last person on this website that Ms. Clinton is a liar and just flat out evil to be scaring people about President Bush's nominees who believe their responsibility is to interpret the law not make new law, then they are on the wrong site.

Ann said he could be another Souter. While I disagree with Ann Coulter, let's be accurate and not danely.
