SAN FRANCISCO -- Declaring "a battle for the soul of the Constitution ... a battle for the soul of America," a broad coalition said Monday that it will pull out all the stops to defeat Janice Rogers Brown's appointment to the nation's second most powerful court.

"We are fearful of what she may do if she keeps climbing the steps of the judicial ladder,"

What they really fear is the U.S. Constitution & anyone who will uphold it.

[Southack]

You know, Democrats lost their Partial Birth Abortion Ban battle today. Earlier this month they lost their California recall battle. Last year they lost the 2002 mid-term elections, including control of the Senate. Prior to that, they lost the Presidency, most state governorships, and most state legislatures.

They've lost control of the governorships of the four most populous states in our union: New York, California, Texas, and Florida.

Does *****ANYONE***** notice a trend here?!

So now they promise to pull no punches and fight to the bitter end against our judicial nominations.

Oooooh, scary (NOT!).

Guess what...after we get our money for Iraq, insure that next year's budget is good to go, and knock out one or two more minor details, we're going to go to the mat on all of our judicial nominations.

We are going to continue rolling over the Leftists like an M1 over barbed wire.

Here come's the BOOM, baby...so how do you like me now?!

[Uncle Miltie]

I think a Quota of black women judges should apply, per usual leftist policy, and the good lady should be elevated without further inspection.

We seem at present to be going down that merry road, where no judges at the critical choke points can be confirmed for anything. What is the end game? Nina Totenberg (of Clarence Thomas fame, but she is so much more, and adds so much more to the public square) once suggested in a rant on Public Radio that there might be one, two, many vacancies on SCOTUS. The ranter may have a point. She may be right. The DC circuit might also, since it has a whip hand over interpreting federal regulations, which are usually the final decision on those matters.

Back in the eighties, the libs always led their media hit pieces with "broad" and "sweeping," describing anything they liked or advocated. Then there was the infamous "Some say.." which really meant; "we say." Anything they hated contained the prompts, "controversial," or "extreme." Look, this pablum does too.

These cheesy liberals froth at the mouth. What a shame their favorite country, the USSR, is no longer in existence. That's where this propaganda stuff was refined, in "Pravda," and "Izvestia."

All the Bee papers are pretty much full of Bolshevik nonsense.

[DLfromthedesert]

Do you have an extra pair you can donate to Dr. Frist?

[Cultural Jihad]

Notice that the Bee claims a "broad coalition" of "environmental, labor and civil rights organizations" is really just a Democratic Party front?

[lewislynn]

we're going to go to the mat on all of our judicial nominations.

Meanwhile the silence from the administration is deafening.

[A Navy Vet]

"CABL's Latino counterpart, La Raza Lawyers Association, also spoke out against Brown."

Perfect. A racist organization speaks.

[Southack]

Dr. Frist will do just fine. He's got to get our Iraq money and perhaps even sew up the next budget, and then he'll have nothing about which to worry if the Senate is shut down for a time with 24/7 filibusters.

It takes tremendous courage to hold your fire until you see the whites of their eyes, but that is just what the good doctor is doing.

Boom!

... "broad coalition" of "environmental, labor and civil rights organizations"...

... came in with 33% of the vote earlier this month.

[Michael.SF.]

It takes tremendous courage to hold your fire until you see the whites of their eyes, but that is just what the good doctor is doing.

And while we wait, Estrada withdraws. 1-O Dems.

Sorry, I cannot agree on this one (as much as I would like to). The Dems are sharpening their tools, polishing their weapons and are kicking our ass in the Judicial nominee arena.

I faulted Trent Lott then, I fault Dr. Frist now. Bush has got to get this under control before we lose more good people like Miquel Estrada.

I'll remember you said that, but it still doesn't explain the silence of the administration...or is "the new tone" not a tone, but silence instead?

[CyberAnt]

Hmmmm? These dems are so blinded by power. They are going to do to Ms. Brown what they did to Estrada. It cost the dems lots of Hispanic votes in CA. Maybe it will do the same for the blacks.

Like I said .. these dems just keep overplaying their hand.

[lawdude]

This sh!t has got to stop. It is time for the republicans and Bush to go with recess appointments and absolutely stop ALL dem attempts at legislation. Hit them where it hurts.

[edchambers]

I'm thinking a REAL filibuster in the middle of the primary season would be just about perfect.Not only will it draw more attention away from the nine dwarfs it would force them to take stand on the filibuster itself and the unpopular left wing agenda driving it.It doesn't get any better than that.

[DLfromthedesert]

I agree. What is the point of having control of the Senate if we can't get our judges confirmed?

The judiciary, as it now stands, has usurped a LOT of power that should be the province of the legislative branch, and the liberals like it that way, but if we don't stop it, we will surely lose our Republic.
