PFA: WE TOLD YOU SO!
Predictable Left Begins Judicial Character Assassination Campaign;
Day 1 Brings Step 1 of Tar & Feather 10-Step Plan
Within just one hour of the announcement of a Supreme Court vacancy, liberal groups were whipping their members into a frenzy as PFA predicted in Tar & Feather, Inc.: A Liberal 10-Step Plan for Judicial Character Assassination. For the Left, it seems the sky is falling:
Planned Parenthood screamed that “Women’s Health and Safety [are] on the Line.”
People For The American Way breathlessly claimed “our very national identity hangs in the balance and progressives must be loud and clear.”
The Alliance For Justice echoed that sentiment, stating “Individual rights and freedoms hang in the balance.”
NARAL: “Unless we act quickly and forcefully, it will be filled by a right-wing extremist bent on ending a woman’s right to choose.”
MoveOn.org predicts a nominee who’s an “extremist who will undermine the rights of individuals and families.”
National Abortion Federation warned that women would have to “sacrifice their lives and health by having back alley abortions in order to end an unwanted pregnancy.” They have even demanded “a candidate who will win a consensus of at least 60 votes in the Senate.”
Liberals recently launched baseless attacks against highly respected judges who eventually received bipartisan support for lifetime appointments to appellate courts.
Judge Priscilla Owen was criticized by liberal leaders for having an “extreme judicial philosophy” but she received 81 votes (26 Democrats) for cloture & 56 votes for confirmation. Judge Janice Brown was called “unfit to serve” by liberal leaders but she received 65 (10 Democrats) votes for cloture & 56 votes for confirmation.
“We told you so,” said Brian McCabe, PFA’s president. “We’ve read the Left’s playbook. Liberals are masters at talking out of both sides of their mouths – while they pretend to want a nominee who will bring the country together, their rhetoric serves no other purpose than ripping people apart.”
Progress for America, Inc. (“PFA”) is a national grassroots organization dedicated to supporting a conservative issue agenda that will benefit all Americans. PFA is the leading conservative group working on the U.S. Supreme Court vacancy and for an up or down vote on the president’s judicial nominees. PFA has pledged an initial $18 million to combat dishonest attacks on any U.S. Supreme Court nominee.
