"Miguel Estrada, President Bush's original choice for a seat on the Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia, faced similar opposition ,as does Janice Rogers Brown, the California Supreme Court judge whom the president nominated for the same seat after a threatened Democratic filibuster doomed Estrada's confirmation. What all three have in common--in addition to being highly qualified lawyers--is that they are also members of minority groups, African American in the case of Brown. It irks some Democrats that a Republican president keeps naming blacks and Hispanics to such unprecedented, high-level posts. Liberals believe they own the franchise on minorities and can't stand any Hispanic or black who breaks rank, that is the only reason Dems on the hill are fighting against his nomination. Keep in mind all these acusations about tourture and Geneva convention violations are nothing more tha accusations by the other party.We are not fighting in a war where the Geneva convention is recognized. What the media and some of you are calling torture is a part of war and could actually end up saving one of your family members some day. There are no rules in war , what part of that don't you understand, where are the rules when these thugs behead innocent contractors trying to rebuild their sorry ass country. So we throw a few pairs of panties over the face of a towel head, big fucking deal. Since when does a fucking terrorists have constitutional rights? All I see in that article are a lot of accusations with no facts to back it up other than a few quotes from the "Washington Post" :lol: :lol: shit enough said, that rag is nothing more than a liberal tabloid for idiots on the hill.[ This Message was edited by: thepatriot on 2005-01-06 14:17 ]
