This guy is a Santorum with a little bit of makeup who's riding a under the radar just to trick the dumbass moderate Dems in this country.

Oh but he might turn out to be Souter or Ginsburg....PLEASE ROTF.

Did you read who his crazy ass wife does pro bono work for?

Here's a snip about Jane Sullivan Roberts.

Ms. Foster said Feminists for Life was committed not only to ending abortion, but also to making it "unthinkable" by providing every woman with the assistance she needs. Reversing Roe v. Wade, the 1973 decision that recognized a constitutional right to abortion, is a goal, she said, "but not enough."

Oh and she sought this group out, they didn't look for her.

Let's reiterate......the group is out to destroy a womens right to choose. PERIOD!

1. I'm wondering, since I heard this,
if they're part of that Opus Dei group in Washington at the church Santorum and Scalia attend.

2. I read in that piece
that his wife at one time attended mass several times a week. I'm a Catholic and I know people who attend that often. These are not moderate Catholics....these are the Pope Catholics...Catholics that follow Catholic doctrine to the letter.

It wouldn't surprise me a bit if they were Opus Dei.

4. I agree.
In fact, I think that the primary reason he is being put on the court is to insure that abortion rights are restricted. I am convinced that this will include closely related movements to try to reduce sex education in public schools, as well as to cut back in the availability of birth control for teens. It is not so much that Roe v Wade will be over-turnedin a single case, but rather than the concept of sexual choice will be attacked in a thousand smaller ways.

Get out your coat hangers if this guy passes muster.
