"Concerned Women" FURIOUS at Specter: "Americans are sick to death!"
Edited on Fri May-05-06 10:26 AM by newyawker99
Yes, Concerned "Women", yes, Americans ARE sick to death of many things. Hopefully this November you will learn just how sick they are of you, your monkey President and your political party.

WASHINGTON, May 4 /Christian Wire Service/ -- Concerned Women for America (CWA) expressed dissatisfaction with Sen. Arlen Specter (R-Pennsylvania) for ceding to Democrats’ demand for a rehearing of Brett Kavanaugh’s nomination to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit. It had been expected that Kavanaugh would be reported out of the Senate Judiciary Committee (SJC), which Specter chairs, on a straight party-line vote with 10 Republicans voting aye and eight Democrats voting against.

According to media reports, Specter said Democrats demanded a hearing to question Kavanaugh “on his role in the administration's secret wiretapping program, its torture policy and any relationship with convicted lobbyist Jack Abramoff.”

“Brett Kavanaugh deserves better than this,” said CWA’s Chief Counsel, Jan LaRue. “Specter just gave the left a stealth weapon to block nominations before they have to use the disfavored f-word. Now all they’ll have to mutter is their new code-word ‘rehearing’ and a threatened filibuster is in play. Americans are sick to death of obstructionism and poisoned politics led by special interest groups on the left side of the universe.”

Specter said he agreed to a rehearing in part because of a letter this week from the seven Democrats of the so-called "Gang of 14," which mediated a filibuster standoff last year. In the letter, the seven pledged to not support a filibuster over Kavanaugh if the panel was allowed to question him again.

Kavanaugh currently serves as Assistant to the President and Staff Secretary. He previously served as Senior Associate Counsel and Associate Counsel to the President. Kavanaugh was a partner at the law firm of Kirkland & Ellis, where his practice focused on appellate matters, and he has argued cases before the Supreme Court. He served as an Associate Counsel in the Office of Independent Counsel. Kavanaugh has clerked for three federal judges including Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy.

1. Yes, yes...
and Americans are also SHOT to death. In Iraq. After their tour is over. When they signed on to provide protection and assistance for Americans in America. As part of the National Guard, which, currently, seems to be GUARDING some other nation.

Sick to death? Sick OF death. And sick of people like you running your mouth when it's obvious you don't get it, nor do you care to get it.

6. Congress is getting a little up tight about Bush taking over?
I think these men in Congress can see going down if they stay with what the nuts in the WH want. They all seem to be running around like the sky is falling.
