President Vows to Pick Pro-Abortion Supreme Court Justice
Meeting with Senate leaders today, President Obama claimed he would have no abortion litmus test for his Supreme Court nominees, but he added a significant disclaimer.
"I will say that I want somebody who is going to be interpreting our Constitution in a way that takes into account individual rights and that includes women's rights," he said, "and this is going to be something that is very important to me."
Bruce Hausknecht, judicial analyst with Focus on the Family Action, said it's more double-speak from the president.
"Anyone hearing or reading his non-litmus/litmus test quote must wonder whether he thinks we really can't see the duplicity involved," he said. "He is going to deliver a pro-abortion nominee. Period."
