Democrats nominating Ward Armstrong to Federal Judgeship

I just received this from the group Ultra Violet - I am disgusted and sad that they would do this. There is also an article at http://thinkprogress.org/justice/2014/06/13/3448710/two-democratic-senators-push-pro-life-pro-gun-anti-obamacare-lawmaker-for-the-federal-bench/

I did a search and didn't find anything on DU.

Ward Armstrong is NOT a Democrat by any means.

This is outrageous--two Democratic Senators are asking President Obama to nominate a conservative anti-choice, anti-woman judge for the federal bench.

Ward Armstrong voted to end the Affordable Care Act and to close Virginia abortion clinics. He's also supported allowing handguns in bars and a constitutional ban on same-sex marriage. And there's also his gross sexism, such as joking that a female lawmaker was "coming over to my place later" and comparing her to Monica Lewinsky.

It's critical that we derail his potential nomination. That's why I signed this petition to President Obama. Will you join me?

3. The Democrats are filling in the Right-of-center void left behind as the GOP shifts Hard Right.
