Conservatives Map Strategies on Court Fight

By CHARLIE SAVAGE
WASHINGTON — If President Obama nominates Judge Diane P. Wood to the Supreme Court, conservatives plan to attack her as an “outspoken” supporter of “abortion, including partial-birth abortion.”

If he nominates Judge Sonia Sotomayor, they plan to accuse her of being “willing to expand constitutional rights beyond the text of the Constitution.”

And if he nominates Kathleen M. Sullivan, a law professor at Stanford, they plan to denounce her as a “prominent supporter of homosexual marriage.”

Preparing to oppose the confirmation of Mr. Obama’s eventual choice to succeed Justice David H. Souter, who is retiring, conservative groups are working together to stockpile ammunition. Ten memorandums summarizing their research, obtained by The New York Times, provide a window onto how they hope to frame the coming debate.

The memorandums dissect possible nominees’ records, noting statements the groups find objectionable on issues like abortion, same-sex marriage, the separation of church and state and the propriety of citing foreign law in interpreting the Constitution.

1. Well at least they have short strategy sessions.

2. If Sotomayor's the nominee, Republican opposition will be limited and futile.

A lot of Republican senators want to appear pro-latino, although they are in reality merely pro-cheap labor and pro-beggaring all working people everywhere.

That's about it.

4. Oh, by the way, guys:

5. Now I know why the word 'conservative' makes me sick.

Damned idiots, they give sheeple a whole new definition.
