GOP Judicial Nominations

Recently, Fox News reported that:

• A judge declared Friday that a law banning same-sex marriage violates the state constitution, a first-of-its-kind ruling in New York that would clear the way for gay couples to wed if it survives on appeal.

That Judge has been a member of a NY State Supreme Court, the trial level in NY State, since 2002 when she ran unopposed.

• Running unopposed, Ling-Cohan, a Democrat, is also the nominee of the Republican, Liberal and Working Family parties.

Hopefully President Bush will make better decisions when his turn comes to replace US Supreme Court Justices.

However, given that the new Attorney General of the United States said during his confirmation hearing in front of the Senate Judiciary committee that he considers Roe v Wade to be "settled law", and that he would support an extension of the "assault weapons" ban, I'm not overly optimistic...
