John Kerry on Roberts Nomination
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
CONTACT: David Wade or April Boyd
July 19, 2005
Statement by John Kerry on the Nomination of John G. Roberts to the Supreme Court
"Americans deserve a Supreme Court that is fair, independent, ethical and served by justices committed to our constitutional freedoms rather than an ideological agenda. Justice O'Connor refused to use her position as a means to advance a political agenda. In replacing her, we must be confident Judge Roberts will do the same.
"We know Judge Roberts is no Sandra Day O'Connor, and the White House has sent a clear signal. There are serious questions that must be answered involving Judge Roberts' judicial philosophy as demonstrated over his short time on the appellate court. The Senate must learn whether he has clear consistent principles upholding Constitutional standards like civil rights and the right to privacy in Roe v. Wade. These issues are in serious question if you take even a cursory glance at his record.
"The American people expect the Senate to fulfill its duty to conduct a thorough, independent review of any nominee, and I intend to do exactly that. I hope Judge Roberts and the White House are forthcoming about his qualifications, background and constitutional philosophy so the Senate can act with all the facts. There's too much at stake to do anything less."

right to privacy in Roe v. Wade If a woman is pregant, she has the right to keep it private.
If she doesn't want to have the baby she has the right to keep that private too.
But nowhere in the Constitution does she have the "right" to kill her baby.

My prediction:
- the confirmation will be X days long (-- doesn't matter, could be fifteen years long, same thing would happen)
- at the very end of this time some (non-)issue will spring up magically, like Diana from Zeus' brow
- "concerned" Dems like Barbara Boxer will plead that they need more time and shouldn't rush to judgment, it's a lifetime appointment, what's the hurry, blah blah blah....
...and this time the GOP
won't buckle.

You know, even here i nnorthern Idaho, there are still a few oxygen-wasters driving around with Kerry-Edwards stickers on their cars. What a bunch of sore losers.

Elections have consequences John. Elections have consequences Teddy. Elections have consequences (insert name of socialist/liberal/democRAT here________________).
It must really suck to be on the left these days.

Oh, before I forget, Teddy K., didn't an anniversary just past? You know Teddy, the one where you killed your mistress at Chappaquiddick.
