CWA Says Brownback and Coburn will Help ‘Specter Watch’     12/21/2004

Washington, D.C. – Concerned Women for America (CWA) applauds Republican leadership for appointing Sen. Sam Brownback (R-Kansas) and Sen. Tom Coburn (R-Oklahoma) to the Senate Judiciary Committee.

“It is telling that pro-abortion groups are whining about the pro-life position of both Senators,” said Jan LaRue, CWA’s chief counsel. “This indicates that the pro-abortion lobby and some committee members will continue their ‘Borking’ efforts against judicial nominees who don’t meet the pro-Roe litmus test.”

“Concerned Women for America has vowed to hold Sen. Arlen Specter (R-Pennsylvania) accountable to his promise not to impose a litmus test on nominees and to conduct fair and timely hearings after he was forced to back-track from what was widely perceived as a message to the president about pro-life candidates,” said LaRue. “It is likely that there will be a Supreme Court vacancy next year. With the additions of Brownback and Coburn to the committee, there will be more watchful eyes and ears on Specter.”
