Yeah, but he just told a Catholic Cardinal that he was not pro-abortion.

I guess in the Ivy League, and certainly among attorneys, Yes means No.

Ya think? Jeez. Sooner or later, however, the Lefties are going to appoint a pro-abort guy/gal who will be born again while in the Court. Then the fun begins.

Obama IS an abortion.

While I don't approve of abortion, it's a shame that Stanley Ann Dunham didn't consider all her options.

If nothing else, Stanley could have turned baby Barry over to an adoptive family that had values, so he wouldn't grow up to be a druggie and a socialist.

Joe Biden should be taken to task. He is VP and should be brought to defend the actions of the Obama Administration.

During the Clarence Thomas hearings, Joe Biden deliberately lied and tried to portray Mr. Thomas as a man who pushes for an activist role for the court. Mr. Biden asked Mr. Thomas about a quote. Mr. Thomas referred to the original transcript where the quote came from and the sentence that Mr. Biden selectively omitted REFUTTED that worldview immediately after the passage quoted by Joe Biden.

Let's hold Biden’s feet to the fire and demand the same level of competency for our courts. We cannot have “two standards”.
