Houston Democrats

Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison stated, "We have now the vehicle. We have two qualified women. They have met every test." She added, "Polling on this issue is not going to make a difference. We are going to try to do what's right."

Owen "deserves to be confirmed and she deserves the professional courtesy of an up-or-down vote," said Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, who served with Owen on the Texas Supreme Court.

The two Republican fascists quoted above are of no consequence to me as they are merely whores for the Bush administration and will say and do anything to "feather their own nests". I merely pasted their quotes in order to bring your attention to their idiocy. It's amusing to me that Kay Hutchison said "We are going to try to do what's RIGHT." My emphasis on the word "right". Never a truer statement was made. Cornyn, the baboon, is a fool. No judge DESERVES to be confirmed and no judge DESERVES the professional courtesy of an up or down vote. What ALL judges DESERVE is to be placed under the microscope for a close look at how they dispense justice and whether or not they are fit to sit on the bench!

Janice Rogers Brown is a right wing extremist lunatic who would rather plunge us back into the Dark Ages than move us forward through the 21st century. Here are some quotes from afore-mentioned psycho:

Janice Rogers Brown Equates Social Security With Cannibalism: Today's senior citizens blithely cannibalize their grandchildren because they have a right to get as much "free" stuff as the political system will permit them to extract.

Janice Rogers Brown Supports Age Discrimination: Discrimination based on age does not mark its victim with a stigma of inferiority and second class citizenship: it is the unavoidable consequence of that universal leveler: time.

Janice Rogers Opposes Everything About the New Deal: The New Deal inoculated the federal Constitution with a kind of underground collectivist mentality. 1937 marks the triumph of our own socialist revolution.

Janice Rogers Brown Opposes Government: Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies.The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible.

Janice Rogers Brown Supports Discriminatory Speech: Ignoring Supreme Court precedent, Brown has argued that racially discriminatory speech in the workplace is protected by the First Amendment.

Below are a few bullet points on the other right wing wackjob that BushCo is trying to foist upon the American people.

Priscilla Owen

* Has been criticized as being on the "far right wing" of the Texas court, further to the right than Bush's own appointees to that court when he was governor.

* Supported the elimination and narrowing of buffer zones around reproductive health care clinics in Houston.

* In every judicial bypass case that came before the Texas Supreme Court last spring (bypass allows a young woman to obtain an abortion without notifying her parents if she proves her maturity to a judge), Owen voted against granting the young woman a bypass.

* Supports "stricter interpretation" of the state law that Bush signed requiring girls younger than 18 to inform their parents before obtaining an abortion.

* Member of the board of the Houston Chapter of the Federalist Society, an ultra-conservative legal organization.

* Enron's political action committee gave Owen $8,600 for her successful Supreme Court bid in 1994. Two years later, Owen wrote the majority opinion that reversed a lower court order and reduced Enron's school taxes by $15 million. Since 1993, Enron contributed $134,058 -more than any other corporation- to Owen and other members of the Texas Supreme Court. A study by Texans for Public Justice found that the court ruled in Enron's favor in five out of six cases involving the company since 1993.

As one can see, these two tramps are real pieces of work, and I say that with all the respect these two creeps deserve. Gag!

This whole "nuclear option" stunt the Rethugs are trying to pull is nothing more but a way for them to obtain one party totalitarian rule in these United States. I haven't decided yet if these idiots believe their own religiously insane drivel or if they are merely greedy, opportunistic, fascist hate mongerers who cream their jeans at the thought of controlling not only all of America but the rest of the world, as well. Methinks it is the latter, although it could be a combination of the two. With that being said, we are screwed, blued and tattoed either way. If this so called "nuclear option" comes to pass then we can all kiss democracy in this country goodbye and say hello to fascism. I already believe we are there anyway. Welcome to serfdom, baby! Hope everybody enjoys toiling for the wealthy robber barons!

I, for one, will be keeping a close eye on this situation to see if any other Rethugs other than McCain and Chafee have enough brains left and whatever passes for morals to vote against this rape of our Constitution.

I'm sure our Founders are desperately trying to claw their way out of the ground in order to stomp a mudhole in some Rethug ass!
