That was then...
Barbara Boxer (D-CA): "According To The U.S. Constitution, The President Nominates, And The Senate Shall Provide Advice And Consent. It Is Not The Role Of The Senate To Obstruct The Process And Prevent Numbers Of Highly Qualified Nominees From Even Being Given The Opportunity For A Vote On The Senate Floor." (Sen. Barbara Boxer, Congressional Record, 5/14/97, p. S4420)
This is now...
Boxer: "So We're Saying We Think You Ought To Get Nine Votes Over The 51 Required. That Isn't Too Much To Ask For Such A Super Important Position. There Ought To Be A Super Vote. Don't You Think So?" (Sen. Barbara Boxer, Remarks At MoveOn.org Rally, Washington, D.C., 3/16/05; Byron York, "Right On, MoveOn!," National Review, 3/17/05)
Call Senator Boxer, remind her of what she said on 5/14/97, ask her to support an up or down vote. Her number is: 559-497-5109 (Fresno office). Remind her that obstructing President Bush's judicial nominations is unconstitutional and you will hold her accountable during the next election if she holds to her obstructionist position. While you're at it, call Senator Feinstien as well, her number: (619) 231-9712 (San Diego office).
