Two Wingnuts to sit on Senate Judiciary

Wed Dec 22, 2004 at 10:21:54 AM PDT

Washington Post's Babington reports that on Monday Senators Tom Coburn (R-OK) and Sam Brownback (R-KAN) will sit on the Senate Judiciary Commitee chaired by Arlen Specter.  This commitee will have a say into who makes it onto the Supreme court and lower courts as well.  These two are both hard Right and vehemently opposed to abortion rights.  Coburn actually advocated the death penalty for doctors who performed abortions, so you can use your imagination in figuring out that the next member of the Supreme Court will in no way be pro choice and could very well tip the balance aginst Roe v. Wade.   Sorry I am link challenged and you need to register at WaPo
