Senators Graham and Sessions expose the radical in PRLDF board member, Sotomayor
Thank you Senators Sessions & Graham for raising the radical positions Ms Sotomayor has been affiliated with, including this insane notion:
"... the Fund criticized the Supreme Court’s decision in two cases that both the State and Federal government should restrict the use of public funds for abortion. . . . Incredibly the Fund joined other groups in comparing these types of funding restrictions to slavery, stating that, ‘Just as Dred Scott v. Sanford refused citizenship to black people, these stripped citizenship under fundamental law.’ In their view, the Equal Protection Clause prohibited restrictions on either Federal or State government provisions of funding abortions. I think this is an indefensible position."
She's unworthy of the postion!
"I'm here to overturn Roe and defeat Sotomayor's nomination to the Supreme Court," she said, according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel,
"She's unworthy of the position," said McCorvey. "She's Catholic. She's even unworthy of taking communion because of her pro-abortion stance."
"Jane Roe" Kicked Out of Sotomayor Hearing"Roe" from Row v Wade arrested after shouting at Sotomayor, during confirmation hearing

Norma McCorvey, known as "Jane Roe" in famous abortion rights case Roe v. Wade, has spoken out against the practice since the '90's.
Norma McCorvey, better known as "Jane Roe" from the landmark abortion case Roe v. Wade, was among the anti-abortion protesters thrown out of Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor's confirmation hearing yesterday.
"You're wrong, Sotomayor! You're wrong!" McCorvey shouted as she was escorted out of the room.
McCorvey, 61, began screaming at Sotomayor during the opening remarks of Sen. Al Franken
and had vowed earlier in the day to halt the nominee's appointment to the Supreme Court.
She was among three arrested for disturbing the hearings.
Her suit led to the 1973 Supreme Court case that legalized abortion but she has since reversed her position and has become an anti-abortion advocate.
The first outburst came during Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Cal. when a man began shouting "Senator! What about the unborn!"
Sotomayor, keeping her composure, looked toward her family in the front row as the man was escorted out. Judiciary Chairman Sen. Patrick Leahy gave a stern warning to those who planned to interrupt the hearings further.
Ahead of her outburst, McCorvey said she was going to thwart Sotomayor's nomination to the highest court.
"I'm here to overturn Roe and defeat Sotomayor's nomination to the Supreme Court," she said, according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel,
"She's unworthy of the position," said McCorvey. "She's Catholic. She's even unworthy of taking communion because of her pro-abortion stance."

Mc Corvey disagrees with SCOTUS nominee: Roe "Settled Law"
'Jane Roe' arrested for disrupting Sotomayor confirmation hearing

WASHINGTON – Norma McCorvey – the Dallas woman known as Jane Roe in the landmark abortion rights case Roe v. Wade – was among the protesters arrested today for disrupting the confirmation hearing for Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor.
The case that bears McCorvey's court-picked pseudonym – and that of longtime Dallas district attorney Henry Wade, her legal adversary in the case – has been a central issue in judicial nomination fights for years. But McCorvey herself long ago decided that she regretted her role in the fight to legalize abortion, and has worked with anti-abortion activists as a potent symbol of the effort to overturn the Roe decision.
McCorvey, 61, is being charged with unlawful conduct/disruption of Congress, said Capitol Police spokeswoman Sgt. Kimberly Schneider.
Norma McCorvey's desire to have the Supreme Court re-examine Roe v Wade, in light of scientific advances since 1972, has yet to be given proper consideration due this matter, fraught with such ponderous life and death implications.
On February 22, 2005, the Supreme Court refused to grant a writ of certiorari, and McCorvey's appeal ended.
Yet, SCOTUS nominee Sonia Sotomayor today stated, "Roe is settled law"
Them's fightin words!
