“ President, that's the kind of justice we hope you'll nominate; someone who will bring us together; a mainstream justice who won't use their judicial robe as a cloak to impose their political ideology on the country.
That's what Ronald Reagan did when he chose Sandra Day O'Connor. Both parties cheered the decision. That can happen again if President Bush says no to the far-right and instead follows in the footsteps of Ronald Reagan to choose a Supreme Court Justice who will unite the country. ”

“ President Bush's far right allies are spending millions of dollars to pressure him to pick not just a conservative, but an extreme conservative, someone out of the mainstream, someone who will impose their narrow partisan agenda from the perch of the highest court in the land, instead of faithfully interpreting the law.
America deserves better. Today marks the anniversary of the passing of former Chief Justice Earl Warren. When he was appointed in 1953, the Supreme Court -- and our country -- was bitterly divided on the issue of racial segregation. ”

“ A BILL To create jobs, restore economic growth, and strengthen America’s middle class through measures that modernize the nation’s infrastructure, enhance America’s energy independence, expand educational opportunities, preserve and improve affordable health care, provide tax relief, and protect those in greatest need, and for other purposes. ”

“ Your actions in recent months have demonstrated a disturbing double standard for the treatment of sensitive information, with what appears to be a clear intent to aid one political party over another. ”

“ We need to bring to justice those responsible and thus bring greater justice to the world. We need to finally bring Osama bin Laden to account for his crimes. And we need to get much more serious about protecting America from attack, about securing our roads and rails, our borders and bridges, our seaports and airports, our nuclear and chemical plants. ”

“ The military, like any community within the United States, includes members both for and against the war. Senior generals, such as General John Batiste and Paul Eaton, have come out against the war while others have publicly supported it. A December 2006 poll conducted by the Military Times found just 35 percent of service members approved of President Bush’s handling of the war in Iraq, compared to 42 percent who disapproved. ”

“ On Thursday, terrorist extremists -- fueled by an ideology of cowardice and hatred -- struck the people of London. Our hearts go out to the victims and their families. Our strength must be devoted to rededicating ourselves to the effort of eradicating these murderous thugs. ”

“ It is unconscionable that Mr. Limbaugh would criticize them for exercising the fundamentally American right to free speech. Mr. Limbaugh has made outrageous remarks before, but this affront to our soldiers is beyond the pale. ”

“ I am writing to inform you that my office has determined that these actions may violate the Hatch Act, which bars FBI officials from using their official authority to influence an election. Through your partisan actions, you may have broken the law. ”

“ A Supreme Court Justice has a lifetime job. Their decisions last for generations. And on many important questions, Sandra Day O'Connor has been the deciding vote in favor of moderation and in defense of our basic rights. ”

“ At the time we sign this letter, 3,808 American soldiers have been killed in Iraq, and another 28,009 have been wounded. 160,000 others awoke this morning on foreign sand, far from home, to face the danger and uncertainty of another day at war. ”
