Her most famous speech as first lady catalogued abuses against women and hammered home the message: "Human rights are women’s rights, and women’s rights are human rights.” As notable as what she said was where she said it -- a United Nations women’s conference in Beijing.

We do not think Roberts will act so we are demanding that Congress take action.

I think he was in Vietnam for 3 months, if that? Not sure.. Did he injure himself to get out? Probably.
