Women's Rights are "Progressive" and that is bad?

If confirmed for the position of associate attorney general, Liu would have been the most senior woman at a Justice Department with a large portfolio, but CNN has learned her past affiliation with a progressive women's organization derailed her pending nomination in the Senate and she pulled out of consideration for the job because she did not want to be a distraction at a critical time for the department.

A person familiar with the situation said Liu's previous role as the vice president of the National Association of Women's Lawyers over a decade ago proved to be the sticking point for some conservatives. While Liu considered it a professional networking opportunity, the group spearheaded a letter against Justice Samuel Alito's nomination to the Supreme Court and has signed on to a number of legal briefs supporting a woman's right to make their own reproductive choices.

Liu did not sign onto NAWL's letter opposing Alito, but maintained a leadership role at the organization during the time it went out. In fact, she had signed a letter in support of Alito as a Yale alum. And ultimately, she resigned from her position at the group and did not rejoin.

Nevertheless, Liu faced potential opposition, specifically from Utah GOP Sen. Mike Lee, among others, making a successful path to confirmation a difficult prospect.

1. Well, everyone who is a member of The Federalist Society is on my black last.

When we take back the WH they all need to be purged from DOJ and all the other agencies. Also, all the Judges that have been appointed will need to be impeached because they belong what I consider the KKK of the legal profession.
