Obstructionism, My Left Testicle
Go and read the story of Willie Searcy, a young man who was fucked over in every way possible by Priscilla Owen, one of Bush's judicial nominees. After an appeals court had ruled that the kid deserved $30 million for lack of quality that had left him a paraplegic, Owen wiped out the entire judgment and ordered a new trial, then stretched out the new case for the next five years, during which time Searcy died due to the fact that his parents couldn't afford round-the-clock care.
This is not about religious faith. This was never about religious faith. What this is about is people who want supremacy. It's about people who want to tell us, the common man, that we are ants to be trod upon by the boots of corporate interest. Our tragedies, our injuries, our very lives and deaths are nothing before the matter of a multi-billion dollar industry losing a couple of million.
Oh, and look at that; Owen won't let young women get abortions and wants to reduce the buffer zone limits at abortion clinics! Why, she's such a crusader for life! Unless some company ruins it, that is.
