The most recent Gallup poll shows that fully 50% of Americans now know that George Bush lied to them about WMDs.

Why are you so eager to defend this traitor?

Christian Coalition President Roberta Combs Tells Democrats: 'Stop Discriminating Against Successful Women'

WASHINGTON, April 27


Roberta Combs, president of the Christian Coalition of America said, "It is time for Democrats to end their unconstitutional filibuster of highly qualified women judicial nominees. It is pure discrimination when a highly successful African-American Justice on the California Supreme Court, Janice Rogers Brown -- who was reelected to that court with 76 percent approval -- has not been given an up or down vote on the Senate floor after waiting for over two years. Left-wing Democrats have discriminated against another highly qualified woman, Priscilla Owen, a Justice on the Texas Supreme Court, for 4 years now since she was first nominated by President Bush in 2001. It is time for Majority Leader Bill Frist to bring these unconstitutional filibusters to an end and to vote to end this discrimination on the Senate floor."

Justice Janice Rogers Brown grew up as the daughter of sharecroppers in a segregated state. She is the first black woman to serve as associate justice on the California Supreme Court and she received the highest vote percentage of all justices on the ballot. She was nominated by President Bush to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit which has 1/4 of all its seats vacant right now. The liberal American Bar Association has given her a qualified rating.

Texas Supreme Court Justice Priscilla Owen has been discriminated against since she was nominated by President Bush in May 2001. She has been a Justice on that court since 1994 and received a well-qualified rating by the left-wing American Bar Association. She was nominated by President Bush to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit. This is the first time in the 214 year history of the United States Senate, that there has been any filibuster of a president's judicial nominees who have clear majority support.
