I read your post and was amazed cause I wrote my Senator (Feinstein) a letter stating I hoped she would put partisan politics aside and vote to confirm this very qualified,excellent judge. Judge Alito!........... She writes me back a form letter yesterday saying she would support my right and womens rights everywhere to have an abortion . And thats why she would be voting no on judge Alito. .........I was so mad! Seems these people are stuck on abortion and are going to support'' my rights'' to have one weather I want one ,or not!
I can't believe that abortion trumps all other issues.
I can believe that our senators think this is a winning issue and are using it as cover for voting against the opposition party's nominee.
Abortion is not on the chopping block, everyone knows that, our senators by claiming to be defending abortion are insulting our intelligence.
Yeah, no representation for conservatives in D.C. from either Feinstein or Boxer. I believe they expect conservatives in CA to just "go away." They certainly never explain their inability/refusal to understand or offer representation for conservatives.
