Safe, Legal, and Rare

The American people, seemingly completely ignorant of the implications of re-electing the theocratic wahoo who never made any secret of his wahoo-ness, still oppose overturning Roe v. Wade:

U.S. President George W. Bush's nominee for the next Supreme Court vacancy should be willing to uphold the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision that guaranteed abortion rights, according to a majority of Americans in an Ipsos-Public Affairs poll for the Associated Press.

Fifty-nine percent said Bush should choose a supporter of Roe v. Wade, while 31 percent said they want a nominee who will try to overturn the decision, according to the poll. Support for Roe v. Wade was seen among both men and women, across most age and income groups, and in urban, suburban and rural areas, AP said.

Bush, whose supporters in the Nov. 2 election included groups that oppose abortion, is expected to get an opportunity to put his stamp on the court during his second term, as a result of departures from the bench caused by retirement or illness. All but one of the nine justices are over 65, including Chief Justice William Rehnquist, 80, who has thyroid cancer.

More than 60 percent of all respondents said a nominee should reveal his or her position on abortion before Senate confirmation, according to the Nov. 19-21 telephone poll of 1,000 adults.


Boy, are they in for a surprise when Miguel Estrada or Edith Jones become the next Supreme Court Justice.

Prediction: After they get rid of Roe v. Wade, Griswold v. Connecticut is next.

All you folks who decided that John Kerry was a flip-flopper and George W. Bush will keep you safe? THIS is what you voted for. Don't come crying to me.
