forget bitter, dems are burning... LOL... Sharpton Urges Democrats to Stop Obstructing Justice Brown Hooray for Al Sharpton, for showing he's not just some Jesse Jackson-like puppet reciting lines from the Democrat establishment's script. Sharpton on Wednesday urged Senate Democrats not to filibuster President Bush's nomination of California Supreme Court Justice Janice Rogers Brown to the U.S. Court of Appeals in Washington, the nation's second-highest federal court. Brown, who has the nerve to be a conservative black woman who follows the U.S. Constitution in her rulings, is under vicious attack from all the usual intolerant groups of left-wing hatemongers. "I don't agree with her politics. I don't agree with some of her background. But she should get an up-or-down vote," Sharpton said. The Senate Judiciary Committee is scheduled to vote today on whether to allow her nomination to go to the full Senate. The Washington Times reported today: "Sharpton echoed the concerns of many conservatives — especially black conservatives — that Justice Brown is being opposed because she doesn't conform to the Democratic ideology that many blacks espouse." Sharpton said: "We've got to stop this monolith in black America because it impedes the freedom of expression for all of us. I don't think she should be opposed because she doesn't come from some assumed club." He compared the filibusters to the same sort of "pocket vetoes" used for so long against blacks. Wow, two independent black voices - that's a Democrat's worst nightmare. No wonder, as we reported many months ago, Democrat plantation overseer Terry McAuliffe put up Carol Moseley Braun as a straw figure to sabotage Sharpton's bid for the presidential nomination and to dilute black power. newsmax.com
