Mainiacs -- Call Susan Collins

Here's our one-liner on several of the Bush re-nominees:


  1. William G. Myers, III -- has no courtroom experience and does not believe either National Register of Historic Places or Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act is controlling on Federal lands,
  2. Thomas B. Griffith -- has no courtroom experience and practiced law (1998-1999 Impeachment Trial of President Clinton) without a license and practiced law (in-house counsel for Brigham Young University) without a license,
  3. Janice Rogers Brown -- does not believe in the incorporation doctrine (goodbye US Bill of Rights in State courts), and favors a return the Lochner era jurisprudence of substantive due process (goodbye worker protection laws that "violated the right of free contract"),
  4. William H. Pryor, Jr. -- does not believe in (or obey) campaign financial disclosure laws and does not believe the Americans with Disabilities Act is Constutional,
  5. Brett Kavanaugh -- lack of experience, post in progress
  6. William Haynes -- lack of experience, post in progress
  7. Terrence Boyle -- another ADA-is-unconstitional, with the additional twist that discrimination in employment is a cultural value of a state tha trumps Federal Law. In Norther New England that would be the "No Indians or French (or Catholics) wanted" laws brought back to life,
  8. David McKeague -- dismissed a Justice Department request to investigate Michigan prisons claims that female prisoners were being abused and raped by male guards,
  9. Priscilla Owen -- an Enron lobbist, and a woman NOW does not want to see on the Federal Bench,

Call Susan Collins' staffers:
Augusta Office (207) 622-8414
Bangor Office (207) 945-0417
Biddeford Office (207) 283-1101
Caribou Office (207) 493-7873
Lewiston Office (207) 784-6969
Portland Office (207) 780-3575
and/or send email (moronic webmail form) and let her know that ending the historic rule on debate for these morons is ... something a Mainiac is unlikely to ever forgive or forget.
