There sure are lots of abortion stories on Feministing today.

I'm not convinced either. Given Bush's track record of appointments...

Watch your local Democratic Senator, should he/she be on the Judiciary Committee for this one. Of course, this is just the trial court level of the federal judiciary, and he is technically qualified, and I would hate for all politicians to be disqualified for judgeships because of previous political stands... but YEESH.

Feminist Review, "There sure are lots of abortion stories on Feministing today."

Well, how about there sure are alot of anti-rights activities going on in the political system today? You're side is creating these stories by attacking the basic human rights of women (by legislating and governing against the health interests of women). So, your observation, if its meant to be some sort of criticism, is really self-referential.

The Senate should just toss this guy out. What good is a majority if you let people with that kind of track record in the door?

The Republicans didn't put up a fight with ACLU card-carrying Ruth Bader Ginsburg. If the Dems win the Presidency in '08 and the Republicans have the Senate, would you want them rejecting strong pro-choicers?

All that about the geese and the gander and what's good for one being good for the other....
