Senate Confirms Pro-Abortion Obama Judge Pick Edward Chen


The Senate has voted to confirm another pro-abortion judge President Barack Obama put forward — District Court for the Northern District of California nominee Edward Chen.



Senators first voted in favor of stopping a Republican-led filibuster against the nomination, which saw a handful of Republicans join Democrats to shut off debate and proceed to a vote which lawmakers and political observers knew would have Chen winning. The Senate then voted on the Chen nomination and approved it on a largely partisan 56-42 vote.



Three Democrats who call themselves pro-life, Ben Nelson of Nebraska, Joe Manchin of West Virginia, and Bob Casey of Pennsylvania, all voted for the pro-abortion judicial pick.



The Senate Judiciary Committee signed off on Chen’s nomination in October 2009 on a 12-7 party-line vote, but Republicans used a filibuster to stop a vote in the full Senate and Obama was forced to renominate him.



The Senate Judiciary Committee approved Chen in March. Pro-life advocates oppose Chen because of his time spent as an attorney for the pro-abortion ACLU — Chen has come under criticism because he was employed as an ACLU attorney in San Francisco for decades.



Conservative columnist Warner Todd Huston says Chen is out of the mainstream.



“Well, for one, the left-wing American Bar Association rated Chen a ‘well qualified’ nominee and many of his associates at the ACLU speak highly of him,” he said. “Chen was quite the ACLU activist between 1979 and 2001. His ACLU history would suffice to make many wary of him, of course.” Full story at http://www.lifenews.com/
