"This was an extremist veto of Miers' nomination," said Human Rights
Campaign President Joe Solmonese.
WASHINGTON - Human Rights Campaign President Joe Solmonese made the
following statement today as Harriet Miers withdrew her nomination to
the Supreme Court.
"This was an extremist veto of Miers' nomination," said Human Rights
Campaign President Joe Solmonese. "Her withdrawal today demonstrates
that the President is beholden to extremist groups rather than to the
American people.
Solmonese continued, "There is still time to listen to the American
people while selecting a nominee. We urge the President to find a
nominee who shares the values of the American people. We join
Republicans and Democrats alike in calling on President Bush to
nominate
a justice who will keep the court balanced."
The Human Rights Campaign is the largest national lesbian, gay,
bisexual
and transgender political organization with members throughout the
country. It effectively lobbies Congress, provides campaign support and
educates the public to ensure that LGBT Americans can be open, honest
and safe at home, at work and in the community.
