Sen. Clinton Questions Supreme Court

Sen. Clinton Questions Supreme Court

WASHINGTON -- Sen. Hillary Clinton said Friday that Supreme Court victories this year for gay couples, minorities and women do not erase the distrust created by other "legally dubious" rulings, including the Bush v. Gore presidential election case.

The court ruled this summer that colleges may continue to use race as a factor in picking students, that gay men and women cannot be prosecuted for having sex and that state government workers are protected under a federal law intended to ease work and family conflicts.

The rulings angered conservatives and were opposed by some of the court's most conservative members.

She said this is "the same court that gave us Bush v. Gore, which made a mockery of one of our most cherished constitutional rights, the right to vote," a reference to the 2000 ruling that ended Democrat Al Gore's chances of winning the White House.

She was on c-span this afternoon and it will be run again tonight at 8:00 pm. (est) Check it out at cspan.org

I'll watch it.

panties in a wad...they're scared of Hillary, and they also know she'd get all the women's votes.. Go Hillary! :-)

:toast:

:-)

I am not pro-Kucinich since I have not decided who I prefer, but I have followed his actions since the coup started and he has always spoken out against this evil administration. He and Waxman and Byrd have done more than anyone else.

Maybe she's schoozing in the back room. I love Hillary but I would like to see a President with a clear mind on the Israel issue.

That would be Liberman. Others in the pipeline could learn from his vision.

I still love her!

we need more Democrats to speak out about the Supreme Court injustices of the past.

never forget 2000.

lucid and so very clear in her words. A pleasure to listen to. Her intellect is awesome, her ability to speak straightforwardly is wonderful.

She also picked apart each of Bush's notorious nominees...Pryor, Owens, Estrada

I say, Hillary for Chief Justice!!

Her presentation today was terrific. (Although she looked really tired.)

She's one amazing Senator!

So much in fact, she scares the he-- out of her rivals.

Hilary was on the Board of Directors of Wal-Mart.

This is pretty good penance.

BUSH v. GORE: bring it on! BUSH STOLE THE ELECTION!

This should be the rally cry for all democratic hopefulls. The people will follow.
