Report: Specter/Senate Democrats Give Thumbs Up to Edith Clement SCOTUS Nomination
Red State Org ^ | 7/19/05

Posted on 07/19/2005 7:17:32 AM PDT by gopwinsin04

Having been flooded with emails [on the impending SCOTUS nomination] lately, but this one stands out:

The SCOTUS nominee will be Joy Clement. WH will announce quickly, probably Tuesday.

Major players are all on board. Senate Democrats are okay with the nomination.

Specter is pleased. His staff is gearing up as of late Monday night.

Expect Democratic special interest groups to go nuts. A handful of Democratic Seantors will play 'mean' to pacify the base. (their bark will be worse than bite)

Joy is like O'Connor on business issues and we are comfortable that she is with us on upcoming life issues.

If Harry Reid, Ted Kennedy, Chuck Schumer and the usual suspects like her, I have my doubts...

"Senate Democrats are okay with the nomination.

Specter is pleased."

Assuming this report is accurate, why do I have a bad feeling about this?

If Spector and the DemoRATS are all for her we should all be afraid.

Could this be a last minute ploy by the Donkeys to shake conservative support?

"...Senate Democrats are okay with the nomination..."


Well that's good, I'm glad we're able to make them happy because that's of course what we are aiming for... What a f@#$^%ing joke this is becoming!

Looks like the Dims are saving the nuclear showdown for when Stevens steps down.

Welcome to SOUTER II

It should be Janice Brown, period. Let the Democrats try to assail this excellent black jurist!

How about some details. Where is she on the Constitution. How about guns? I would not read much into any democrat reaction yet as all is based on leaks and speculation.

Several articles/speculation about her on FR... look around.

Unsubstantiated Rumors

RedState is a respectable site, so I try to not flood it with unsubstantiated rumors (that is, rumors I hear from just one person), but I am passing this one on to you to add to the rumor mill. I have no relationship with the source; in fact, I got it about ten minutes ago, just as I was shutting down for the evening. But, having been flooded with emails lately, this one stands out -- maybe because it is late at night and I'm tired. So, take it with a grain of salt. Here is the email:

  1. It is Joy [Clement].
  2. WH will announce quickly, probably tomorrow.
  3. Major players are on board.
  4. Senate Dems are okay.
  5. Specter is pleased. His staff is gearing up tonight.
  6. Expect Dem groups to go nuts.
  7. A handful of Dem Senators will play "mean" to pacify base. Bark will be worse than bite.
  8. Joy is like O'Connor on business issues and we are comfortable that she is with us on upcoming life cases.

If the RATS are pleased it makes me wary. What is her stance on the 2nd and 5th Amendments? What about interstate commerce?
