38. BUSH JUDGES: Talk Well, DO EVIL.
That's not my opinion, that's what Bush judicial nominee Bill Pryor is professing.
Pryor, you may remember, is the judge who ran Roy Moore out of office for standing for the ten commandments, so Pryor's conservative and Christian credentials are already highly suspect.
His latest comments remove any lingering doubt as to his illegitimacy. Pryor, like so many other phonies, sys although he believes abortion is evil, he will rule in favor of it anyway.
What difference does it make if Bush nominates supposedly 'conservative' judges, if they profess ahead of time that they will DO the SAME things as liberals? Are we supposed to feel good because guys like Pryor at least SAY they are on our side, while they stab us in the backs? Are the babies supposed to feel better that their torture and death warrants will be signed by a man who SAYS he's against it?
11th Circuit's Pryor Calls Abortion 'Evil' but Says He'll Follow Laws

Friday June 24 Eliott C. McLaughlin and Jonathan Ringel, Fulton County Daily Report
Federal appeals Judge William H. Pryor Jr., whose fierce opposition to abortion prompted a two-year fight over his Senate confirmation, said Wednesday that "it'd certainly be wrong for a Catholic lawyer or judge to do something to advance a grave evil like abortion."
TG: Well, that's EXACTLY what he's planning to do. He's confessing his sins ahead of time - and some ignorant conservatives and Christians will support him (and his boss) anyway.
Pryor emphasized that as an appeals court judge he would uphold abortion laws.
TG: It is kind of refreshing that Pryor ADMITS he's a phony,but that makes it all the more frustrating that constitutional conservatives think his kind are any more worth supporting than admitted liberals.
Pryor's announced topic at the meeting was "The Duty of a Catholic Lawyer or Judge to Avoid Evil." But when he reached the podium, he said he had chosen a different topic, and he drew laughs when he said that one of the benefits of life tenure is the freedom to change his mind.
TG: No doubt all the babies on Pryor's death-row though tthat was quite humorous. His jest about life tenure also hints that he has a despotic mind-frame.
After the speech, Pryor took questions, which is when Roe v. Wade came up. Pryor's statement that he would follow the 1973 decision, which he previously has called "the worst abomination of constitutional law in our history," reflected his promise at his Senate confirmation hearing two years ago to adhere to all decisions of the Supreme Court, whether or not he agreed with them.
TG: So he would've enforced slavery when it was legal? He would've enforced killing Jews if this was a Nazi German court?
Along with abortion rights supporters, other liberal groups had vigorously opposed Pryor's nomination for the past two years. They hounded him with reminders that he once ended a speech praying for "no more Souters." That was a reference to U.S. Supreme Court Justice David H. Souter, whose votes to uphold Roe have disappointed many conservatives.
TG: He is setting himself up to be a greater compromiser than Souter ever has been.
Becky Rafter, the executive director of the local chapter of the pro-abortion rights group NARAL Pro-Choice America, said she was concerned particularly about Pryor because, as a judge on a federal appeals court, he will deal with abortion only in the most delicate and complex situations, such as when a girl or woman has been the victim of rape or incest. "His personal beliefs are going to affect his rulings. He is going to look at that lawyer as advancing an evil," she said.
TG: A supposed pro-lifer's views will affect his rulings, so all judges must be pro-abortion because that WON'T affect a judge's rulings? Did Rafter have her brain aborted? She can at least take comfort in knowing that Pryor has gone on the record as being a wimpy compromiser and promising that his pro-life beliefs, as shallow as they are, WON'T affect his rulings.

Federal Judge Bill Pryor to Uphold 'Evil' Abortion Law, But Says Upholding Evil Doesn't Make Him Evil

DOUBLED MINDED -- Federal appeals Judge William H. Pryor Jr., emphasized that as an appeals court judge he would uphold abortion laws. "The law does not empower you to stop someone else from doing evil," he said.[?] (Jer.22:3; Gen.9:6; Rom.13:1-4) Upholding a law "does not make you a formal cooperator with the evil act," Pryor says.[?] (Rom.6:15-16; Jas.1:5-8; Isa.5:20; Rom.2:12-13; Pss.2:10-12)
