[Apologetics] Fwd: Moment of Truth for the White House by Deal W. Hudson

[Art Kelly]

This is a VERY significant statement from Deal Hudson,
who has been "in the hip pocket" of the Bush
Administration.

In warning the President not to nominate a
pro-abortion person to replace O'Connor, Hudson did
not name Gonzales, but the implication was
unmistakable.

If the White House thinks it can always "throw a bone"
to the pro-lifers, it is mistaken. If Gonzales is
nominated, there will be a breach with the pro-life
community that will never be repaired.

Also, watch for a combo deal: a conservative to
replace Rehnquist and a moderate (read pro-abortion)
nominee to replace O'Connor.

Pro-lifers response should be: no package!!! We'll
support the conservate, while ACTIVELY opposing
Gonzales.

Make no mistake about it: If Gonzales in nominated, he
WILL be confirmed UNLESS pro-lifers "pull out all the
stops." 

The liberals in the Senate know he's the best they
will be able to do and they (there might be a few
token "no" votes from extreme left-wingers) will
support him. And the Senators who are Bush loyalists
will too. Together, that's at least 70 votes, more
than the 67 needed for confirmation.

Also, beware of the Haynsworth-Carswell-Blackmun 
ploy. Nominate a strong conservative (or two), let him
(or them) go down to defeat, then say, "Well, I 
tried. I'm sorry, but Alberto Gonzales is the best we
can do right now. At least, he won't be any worse than
O'Connor."

If pro-lifers fall for this, it is because they
haven't studied history.
