They've sent their solicitors to argue for pro-life measures and they've passed bans on partial birth abortion. The real fight is in the courts and that's exactly why judicial confirmations have been such a big issue. Don't forget that President Bush also backed the RR on the same-sex marriage issue. They didn't get an amendment, but the bar is very high.Hunter Bakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14961831404331998743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8776899.post-1106148009463677132005-01-19T10:20:00.000-05:002005-01-19T10:20:00.000-05:00We won't agree, but you're wrong, Scrabble-king. ...We won't agree, but you're wrong, Scrabble-king. Your count of socially conservative Senators is far too low. What about Alabama's Senators or Mississippi's? What about John Cornyn of Texas or Saxby Chambliss in Georgia? We could go on an on cherry-picking major politicos who are sympatico with "the movement."Hunter Bakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14961831404331998743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8776899.post-1106109960085590262005-01-18T23:46:00.000-05:002005-01-18T23:46:00.000-05:00Rick Santorum and Sam Brownback, maybe Norm Carlso...Rick Santorum and Sam Brownback, maybe Norm Carlson and Lindsey Graham. With four senators that share our inclinations you're going to remake policy? Not very likely.<br /><br />But would that Hunter were right. <br /><br />The great Yehuda Levin (don't miss his speech at the anti-Roe rally next week; his is always best)says that the religious leaders act like politicians and the Democrat politicians are religious in their pro-abortion zealotry. He's all too sadly right. And we might add that the Republican politicians act like politicians, too. So the Dems have passion and we don't - guess who always wins?Jay D.
