A dark day but a silver lining
Martin Fox - Pro LIfe Alliance
Thanks to a change Reid himself once condemned as a “quest for absolute power,” it now requires only 51 votes instead of 60 to confirm presidential appointments.
Frankly, this will mean a continuation of the bad news pro-lifers have gotten from the courts ever since the infamous Roe v. Wade decision in 1973.
Yesterday was indeed a dark day, but as is often the case, there is a silver lining.
In fact, three of the Senators who voted with Reid -- Mark Begich of Alaska, Mary Landrieu of Louisiana, and Kay Hagan of North Carolina -- are up for reelection in vulnerable races next year, and unlike federal judges, they do not have lifetime appointments.
Now it will be up to pro-lifers to hold them accountable.
For Life,
Martin Fox, President
