Bush spent the weekend at Camp David huddled with Miers, who remains his White House counsel and is therefore in charge of the judicial selection process, along with Chief of Staff Andrew H. Card Jr., who originally advocated Miers as the first choice to replace retiring Justice Sandra Day O'Connor. As the three talked, White House officials contacted prominent conservatives to test the reaction to various candidates.
One group consulted was the Concerned Women for America, whose decision to oppose Miers last Wednesday became one of the final blows to help kill the nomination. Janet M. LaRue, the group's chief counsel, said it received a call from the White House on Saturday and liked what it heard.
Concerned Women for America? Let me offer you a glimpse...
We are the nation's largest public policy women's organization with a rich 25-year history of helping our members across the country bring Biblical principles into all levels of public policy.
Biblical Principles... Good thing the next pick is going to be A-OK with them.
They have some "Core Issues"...
Definition of the Family
CWA believes the traditional family consists of one man and one woman joined in marriage, along with any children they may have. We seek to protect traditional values that support the Biblical design of the family.
Sanctity of Human Life
CWA supports the protection of all life from conception until natural death. This includes the consequences resulting from abortion.
Education
CWA seeks to reform public education by returning authority to parents.
Pornography
CWA endeavors to fight all pornography and obscenity.
Religious Liberty
CWA supports the God-given rights of individuals in the United States and other nations to pray and worship without fear of discrimination or persecution.
National Sovereignty
CWA believes that neither the United Nations nor any other international organization should have authority over the United States in any area, including economics, social policy, military, and land ownership.
Miscellaneous
CWA also deals with a variety of other issues that don't comfortably fit into a category, yet are important to address.
And let's not be unclear on what they view their mission to be. Their mission statement is:
The mission of CWA is to protect and promote Biblical values among all citizens - first through prayer, then education, and finally by influencing our society - thereby reversing the decline in moral values in our nation.
Your next Supreme Court nominee is brought to you by the Religious Fanatic Wing of the Republican Party. Welcome the American Taliban to the big time. They whined enough that the President has capitulated to them. Let's see what the MAJORITY of the country thinks.
I have no doubt that they are indeed concerned women, but I am simply revolted by the fact that they feel they must spill that concern on me.
