I have an obligation to my constituents to make sure that I cast my vote for Chief Justice of the United States for someone I am convinced will be steadfast in protecting fundamental women's rights, civil rights, privacy rights,

I wonder which rights these would be?

Do women have rights that men do not?

It seems to me that if they do doesn’t that violate the equal protection under the law that the Constitution guarantees.

As to civil rights I believe that the right to property would have to be way up there. But the five justices presently on the court that Hitlery thinks most highly of believe that property rights come a distant second to the right of politicians to increase tax revenues.

I do not believe that the Judge has presented his views with enough clarity and specificity for me to in good conscience cast a vote on his behalf.

In other words, he didn't say that he would NOT repeal Roe v.Wade. That is the only concern of these supporters of baby-killing.

This vote, more than the vote of any other slimey Demo Senator, reflects how Democrats have become captives of their leftwing kook fringe. If even Hillary Clinton can't buck that pressure to vote the responsible way for this emminently qualified candidate, no Democrat can.

The next indicator will be Evan Bayh (sp?): if he votes NAY on Roberts, it will mean that not a single aspirant for the White House is willing to buck the NOW/MoveOn/People for the American Way/NARAL kook pressure. Hooray! They're DEAD in the next election!

"I do not believe that the Judge has presented his views with enough clarity and specificity for me to in good conscience cast a vote on his behalf."

...unless he performs an abortion on the Senate floor.

She has to appease her base and her base only cares about one thing: a woman's right to kill.

Let's hope every American applies this same standard to her.

The big question is, can he move far enough to the right to get there?

I don't think so. I can't imagine Republican primary voters going for McCain.

The media loves him; the Republican base does not.

I have been watching her orchestrated shift to the right awaiting for her to appear on the horizon of the center and now she tacks back to the left.

This vote is all about keeping her base. The moderate conservatives who Hillary is trying to court, this vote will not be a factor for. The people who are paying attention to this are the Moveon.org types. Hillary is just going to say quasi-conservative things concerning gay marriage, abortion, and cutting spending, she is not actually going to vote with conservatives. Hillary's run to the middle is just rhetoric to try to pick those up who really don't pay attention.

"It requires thoughtful inquiry and debate"

..and constant polling of the left's base to validate my running for president.

Okay people. The game has changed. No more tacit appoval of the Left's nominees. From now on, no quarter can be given. Every nomination must be for conservative control. Those in office that don't heed this warning need to be dumped at the ballot box. The Nuke option needs to be settled once and for all. Let's quite dancing around.

This looks like a mistake, but for her purposes, it is not. She knows that Al Gore and perhaps Barak Obama will be running against her in 2008. Gore, especially, is a dangerous opponent. A vote for Roberts would have been poison with the base. Gore would have beat her over the head with it.

What this tells you is that her advisors have been telling her is that the free ride she thought she might have to 2008 just got a tad more expensive. There are a lot of Kos Kids and DU types who make up the activist base who want Al Gore to avenge 2000.

Her entire statement is an appeal to the base.

Be Seeing You,

Chris

The Hildabeast is walking a fine line. Hillary knows where the $$$ in the democratic party is: With the far, far, left Michael Moore/Moveon.org/Cindy Sheehan crowd. No way would she ever have voted for Roberts.

Yes Abortion is the buzzword issue but the truth came out when Specter was gassbagging. "Abortion is a method of contraception of last resort." I think this gets to the truth of the matter. As long as contraception is legal we will have legal abortion, the two go hand in hand.
