Democratic Female Senators Praise Supreme Court Nominee Sotomayor
Several Democratic female senators on Wednesday took to the floor in a series of speeches praising Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor and highlighting her judicial qualifications, the Boston Globe"s "Political Intelligence" reports. Sen. Amy Klobuchar (Minn.) -- a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee -- was joined by Sens. Mary Landrieu (La.), Claire McCaskill (Mo.) and Jeanne Shaheen (N.H.).In her address, Klobuchar said that Sotomayor"s experience "particularly resonated with me," adding that Sotomayor "understands the law is not just some dusty book in your basement" and that its interpretation has consequences. McCaskill said that Sotomayor is a nominee with "integrity, grit, intellect and the ability to pass judgment in the most difficult intellectual challenges that face a Supreme Court justice."According to "Political Intelligence," the floor speeches came after Klobuchar and others praised Sotomayor"s nomination at Monday"s annual convention of the left-leaning legal organization the American Constitution Society. In her speech, Klobuchar defended Sotomayor against conservative critics who have questioned the nominee"s temperament, citing complaints that Sotomayor was impatient with unprepared lawyers. Klobuchar said that she is "hoping that we would get to a point in this country where we could be appointing and confirming as many as rough and to-the-point female judges as we have appointed male judges" ("Political Intelligence," Boston Globe, 6/24).

A Selection Of Thursday's Editorials And Opinions

The GOP Can Stop ObamaCare Wall Street Journal Americans will listen more closely to Republicans if they make empirical and specific arguments against Mr. Obama"s attempted government takeover of the nation"s health system. But they must also offer proposals that families, small-businesspeople and health-care providers will applaud (Karl Rove, 6/18). Give GOP Proposal For Health Care Respectful Hearing Houston Chronicle Conventional wisdom has it that Democrats in this Age of Obama "own" health care as a political and, some would argue, a moral issue. But that hasn"t prevented congressional Republicans from coming up with their own plan for reform - nor should it (6/17). The Individual Mandate - An Affordable and Fair Approach to Achieving Universal Coverage New England Journal of Medicine The orientation of our system and the distorted incentives that it creates can be changed. A vital component of such a change would be bringing all U.S. residents into our health insurance system through an individual mandate (Linda Blumberg and John Holahan, 6/17). "Public Option": Son Of Medicaid Wall Street Journal It seems to me, if we"re honest, that one other contributor to the health-care morass should have been on the president"s list: Congress (Daniel Henninger, 6/18). Government Guidelines May Harm Health Care San Francisco Chronicle Although supported by some, the notion of guidelines has not won universal approval among practicing clinicians, who are apprehensive and suspicious that federal treatment protocols will bind medical practitioners to treat Medicare beneficiaries with particular ailments in a certain way or mandate justification for deviating from government-set standards (Sidney Marchasin, 6/18). Reform Needs To Improve Medicare Reimbursements The Buffalo News Paradoxically, while this region"s work force and employers contribute equally to the Medicare premium, they do not receive an average share of revenues. This has unintended consequences that need to be addressed by national health care reform (Dennis Horrigan, 6/17). Strategy Corner: Health Care Reform Done Right Politico The unions want universal coverage as a victory for their members and for them. They are pushing the administration to be tougher, and they can move a lot of members and money in a campaign to counter the industry. So Obama really has three basic strategies before him (Mark Penn, 6/18). This information was reprinted from kaiserhealthnews.org with kind permission from the Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation.
