Glad he got confirmed despite one of my Texas senators voting against him. Grr--!

Here's the take on him from a liberal source, the Alliance for Justice:

"Throughout his career, J. Leon Holmes has actively worked to undermine a woman's right to reproductive choice. His zealous advocacy for doing away with such a fundamental right, along with extreme statements he has made about the separation of church and state, gay rights, and gender equality, raises serious questions about his fitness for a lifetime appointment to the federal bench."

Sounds good to me.

How did Kerry vote -- or was he too busy?

"Throughout his career, J. Leon Holmes has actively worked to undermine a woman's right to reproductive choice..."

Sounds like a ringing endorsement to me!!!

Scottish Law MacSpecter must not have gotten the RINOs lined up behind him on this one. And shame on Hutchinson. Unbelievable.

Good the Johns were probably out holding hands and kissing each other on their first date. So they missed the vote.

Someone posted that Specter voted FOR confirmation. Maybe it was collection time for Bush's support in the primary.

To AFJ: What if that little woman just happens to be in the womb? Wonder what choice she would make for herself?

Absent. He was working a rope line in Pennsylvania.

Yes, Specter voted for Holmes as did Dems Landreau, Lincoln & Pryor (sp. ?) as well as 3 others. The 2 (porta) Johns were there. There's probably a site with individual votes, but I'm not sure where it is. I didn't see the entire vote on C-SPAN.

Just reread what I'd hurriedly written & saw that I left out "not". :-(

Perhaps she voted no after she knew it would have no effect.

I have serious questions about this nominee's commitment to a woman's constitutional right to choose! Is it too late to do anything about this anti-choice extremist?

Yeah, but his view of a woman's role in a marriage, let alone society, is questionable, to say the least.
