Christian Coalition: Democrats DISCRIMINATING against succesful women!

[Bluebear]

WASHINGTON, April 27 /Christian Wire Service/ -- 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% 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.

1. Combs is a racist

Ten black women filed the suit in February. They worked in the coalition's data-entry and remittance departments, opening mail, tabulating donations and entering them into a computer database. The women claimed they were subjected to “Jim Crow-style racial discrimination,” including being told to use the back door because Executive Director Roberta Combs didn't want “important people' seeing them in the reception area.

They also said they were forced to use a segregated break room and were excluded from the coalition Christmas party and events related to President Bush's inauguration. They later filed an amended complaint alleging that the coalition retaliated against them for bringing the suit. Five more employees joined the amended suit, including a white man who said he was fired because he refused to spy on his black co-workers.

2. Janice Brown is "a highly successful" judge?

A highly successful judge is someone the ABA ranks as unqualified? Someone her colleagues consistently overrule? Someone who has been criticized for plagiarizing her own speeches in her opinions rather than basing them on legal points and precedents?

5. She is successful

As everyone knows that the ABA is just another "librul" organization, and that the other judges didn't like her because she was either a woman or black or both.

And as far as plagiarizing her own speeches, everyone copies from someone else all the time.

By the way this is sarcasm



This isn't sarcasm

I truly believe that this woman would bring back slavery if given the chance. What I don't understand is why do those like Brown and Thomas, succeed by using programs that were available to them, and yet do everything in their power to destroy those same programs, and deny others access to them?

6. In their eyes...

...to be qualified as "highly successful", one only has to be Christian and Conservative. Case closed.

3. Why are they always the first...

...to cry "Victim"? Is it their religious right desire to fullfill a persecution complex?

9. Victimization and persecution rallies the fundies

7. This has that "Karen Hughes" stink all over it, IMHO

Her kind of spin. . .her kind of language.

8. The ABA is left wing?

News to me

11. discrimination is now defined as "not doing whatever bush, inc decrees"
