Most telling title ever

This Boston Globe headline caught my eye this morning: For foes of Roe v. Wade, Alito's fuzziness comforts.

Ah yes, the warm fuzzy comforting feeling of women’s reproductive rights being eroded.

Check this out, from the article:

One would think that the news that President Bush's nominee for the Supreme Court said in a job application that he believes there is no right to abortion; that he strategized about ways to undermine Roe v. Wade while an attorney in Ronald Reagan's Justice Department; and that he left no doubt in his mother's mind that he opposes abortion, would all be glad tidings to conservatives.

But conservatives know that Alito will have an easier time being confirmed if there's ambiguity about his stance on abortion. So [Judicial Confirmation Network head, Wendy] Long chose to describe Alito's Reagan-era memo on overturning Roe, which was released by the National Archives last week, as ''more about inside baseball and tactics" than his view of abortion rights.

So don’t forget, these mofos are being deliberately ambiguous. This whole thing is a wink-wink-nudge-nudge to anti-choicers, who have no doubts about Alito’s intentions towards Roe. And neither should you, so make sure to take action.

I reiterate what I said before. What more can we expect from a Dumbya nominee? If not Alito, it will be the next bozo down the line. As long as this administration exists, the fight will be non-stop.
