Obama nominees Koh and Johnsen - more radical extremism
Apparently, the Republican Party is dead and the only voice of conservative America is Rush Limbaugh. Which is why the Obamacrats are running attack ads against Rush as though he were a political opponent.
Can you imagine if Bush had singled out a media person for such a vicious attack? Or can you even remember what the world was like prior to January 20, 2009?
While Obama is stirring up the peasants with pitchforks to hate CEOs - diverting responsibility and blame from Congress to business - and taking over corporate America, in the background, Obama's nominees are rolling forward.
OBAMA'S MOST PERILOUS LEGAL PICK
By MEGHAN CLYNE
March 30, 2009 --
JUDGES should interpret the Constitution according to other nations' legal "norms." Sharia law could apply to disputes in US courts. The United States constitutes an "axis of disobedience" along with North Korea and Saddam-era Iraq.
Those are the views of the man on track to become one of the US government's top lawyers: Harold Koh.
President Obama has nominated Koh -- until last week the dean of Yale Law School -- to be the State Department's legal adviser. In that job, Koh would forge a wide range of international agreements on issues from trade to arms control, and help represent our country in such places as the United Nations and the International Court of Justice.
It's a job where you want a strong defender of America's sovereignty. But that's not Koh. He's a fan of "transnational legal process," arguing that the distinctions between US and international law should vanish.Read entire article here.
I'm very interested in seeing a future America where Sharia law is respected - that might put an abrupt end to some illustrious Hollywood careers and finally shut up Madame Pelosi. And what about the collision with anti-abortion and anti-homosexual Muslims? sounds like a recipe for disaster to me.
Comments by Obama Nominee Dawn Johnsen comparing mothers to "slaves," "losers in the contraceptive lottery" and "fetal containers" Reveal Extreme Support for Abortion on Demand
Washington, D.C. - Today the president of the Susan B. Anthony List commented on radical pro-abortion activist Dawn Johnsen, whose nomination was voted out of the Senate Judiciary Committee and currently awaits a floor vote."Dawn Johnsen does not represent mainstream America nor the type of common ground abortion policy President Obama promised this nation," said Marjorie Dannenfelser, president of the Susan B. Anthony List. "Her bizarre characterizations of pregnancy as 'slavery' and mothers as 'losers in the contraceptive lottery' expose an unacceptable disdain for commonsense abortion restrictions and motherhood in general. Furthermore, Johnsen's opposition to existing federal restrictions like the ban on partial-birth abortion casts doubt on her ability to perform her duties faithfully as the head of the Office of Legal Counsel."
Across the country, Susan B. Anthony List members expressed outrage at Johnsen's nomination, sending over 26,000 letters of opposition to their U.S. Senators. Johnsen was voted out of the Senate Judiciary Committee on March 19th by a vote of 11-7.
While Johnsen served as the legal counsel for National Abortion & Reproductive Rights Action League (now NARAL Pro-Choice America), she authored numerous legal opinions rejecting any and all restrictions on abortion. Some notable quotes from Johnsen's amicus curiae brief in the case Webster v. Reproductive Health Services include:
"Abortion restrictions 'reduce pregnant women to no more than fetal containers.'""The argument that women who become pregnant have in some sense consented to the pregnancy belies reality...and others who are the inevitable losers in the contraceptive lottery no more 'consent' to pregnancy than pedestrians 'consent' to being struck by drunk drivers."
"The experience [of abortion] is no longer traumatic; the response of most women to the experience is relief."
Johnsen awaits a floor vote by the full U.S. Senate to gain confirmation to head the Office of Legal Counsel.
The Susan B. Anthony List is a nationwide network of Americans, over 154,000 residing in all 50 states, dedicated to mobilizing, advancing, and representing pro-life women in politics. Its connected Candidate Fund increases the percentage of pro-life women in the political process.
I'm all too familiar with the Johnsen mindset - straight out of the early 70s Second Wave of Feminism in which the unborn child was regarded as a parasite, an invader of the woman's body, who thus had every right to kill the criminal presence.
Lord, have mercy!
