There is more at stake than just abortion, and making abortion a litmus test feeds the MSM monster and will defeat us in our quest. Strategery is required on judges.

Who said we're making it a litmus test? It is Specter that's got the litmus test. My only requirement is exactly what the President calls for - someone who will strictly interpret the Constitution rather than legislate from the bench. We don't need a litmus test if they'd just stick to the law.

OK now this is where it starts to get messy. The Supremes have ruled Roe v Wade is the law. No way around this. A frontal attack on RvW is not going to work. The MSM will just cut the judicial nominees to shreds. This is exactly why the MSM put this story out at this time. To prepare the field and tilt the odds by using our reaction to this article against us. So how to counter -- What's your approach?

I add that frontal assaults on RvW have been dismal failures in the past.
