CWA Says Judicial-Busters Behave Like Neighborhood Bully     5/2/2005

Washington, D.C. – Concerned Women for America (CWA) says the Senate minority’s refusal to vote on the president’s judicial nominees is like the neighborhood bully who takes the ball and runs home because he can’t stand to lose.

“The minority knows that every nominee has more than 51 votes for confirmation so they refuse to vote to keep from losing,” said Jan LaRue, CWA’s chief counsel. “They claim that the president’s nominees are out of the mainstream but it’s the minority that’s lost touch with mainstream Americans and lost the election as a result.”

“Americans don’t want judges who think the Constitution needs to conform to the laws of some banana republic or that it’s their own personal Etch-a-Sketch to create rights to same-sex marriage, partial-birth abortion, Internet pornucopia, constitutionalizing sodomy and striking down the Pledge of Allegiance,” LaRue added.

“Sen. Frist and members of both parties who are fed up with the losers’ judicial-bustering need to take the ball and let the bullies run home. Losers get to vote—they don’t get to win by rewriting the rules. It takes 51 votes to confirm a judge and 41 to throw a tantrum.”
