Bush just installed Charles "The Racist Anti-Choice Right-Wing Piece of Garbage" Pickering on the court, bypassing the Democrats who had blocked his appointment. Here's Pickering's record, courtesy of NARAL.
He has that right, but it is no less disgusting, and it is no less a direct, in-your-face bitchslap at the Democrats and progressives everywhere.
NARAL has a letter writing campaign going on, which is worth partcipating in if only to tell your senator to stop sleeping on the job (or in my case, since they're Republicans and hate America, to tell them that you're going to see to it they're voted out of office). [The site is down right now, but I will post the lunk later this evening] Unfortunately, it's like screaming into the wind. The deed is done. I see it as a desperate act by an administration that is worried about its electoral prospects and feels it has to get the most damage in before it's too late.
Please march for choice in April, and remember to key your favorite republican's car. Fucking lousy shiteating fuck fucks.
