Been a bad week over at Democratic Underground. They are having a collective mental breakdown.
Some articles on Pryor:
The Catholic Test, Part 2
Big media has been avoiding the new Democratic religion test, but the blogosphere has answered the bell.
by Hugh Hewitt
08/07/2003
CHARLES CHAPUT, the Archbishop of Denver, issued a stinging rebuke to Catholic senator Richard Durbin and concluded that “a new kind of religious discrimination is very welcome at the Capitol, even among elected officials who claim to be Catholic,” and the national news media barely took note.
A single Washington Times story cited Chaput’s column on the William Pryor nomination, and the sole mention in the Washington Post was contained in a letter to the editor from C. Boyden Gray, who is leading an effort to break the Democratic filibuster of the Catholic Pryor.
The blogosphere did better. Discussions of Chaput’s charge broke out at Powerline, The Brothers Judd, The Inn at the End of the World, and InfiniteMonkeys, among others. But the big blogs stayed away from the Chaput statement and from the Pryor controversy generally . . .continued here
The National Abortion Federation opposes the re-nomination William Pryor to the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals. The Eleventh Circuit covers Alabama, Georgia, and Florida . . . NAF believes that the adamantly anti-choice record of Pryor calls into question his ability to fairly adjudicate matters such as these and urges the Senate to reject his nomination . . . more
People for the American Way:
Pryor’s devotion to a states’ rights philosophy has already contributed to a weakening of federal protections for those most in need. In reviewing his record in the office of the attorney general and his extensive speeches and writings, even a casual observer must conclude that, for William Pryor, his states’ rights ideology conquers all.
. . . Pryor has called the ruling (Roe) “the worst abomination of constitutional law in our history.”
During an April 1997 rally, Pryor decried the decades-old precedent of Roe. He said, “I will never forget January 22, 1973, the day seven members of our highest court ripped the Constitution.”

Schumer’s anti-Catholicism really shone through on his tireless, prolonged and shrill efforts to thwart Pryor’s appointment. Poor Chuckie. When will Catholic parents who care about raising their children as good Catholics recognize that voting the demlibs into the majority would mean that none of their children could aspire to be federal judges?.

swampfox…also means wondering if the ACLU is going to sue you for praying in public or putting up a nativity scene. Or if the party you voted for will try to kill vouchers to Catholic schools or deny funds to Catholic hospitals which refuse to do abortions.
Lisa…Justice Janice Brown is the one who frosts the culture of death most. She was one of them. In college she was a single mom with a huge Afro who has said she was almost a Maoist. Today she is to the right of both Scalia and Thomas. And she’ll be on the Federal bench for decades. On the second most important Federal court in the nation too–the D.C. circuit.
That she was confirmed means the Democrats cannot claim anyone else is an “extremist”.
