(9,612 posts)It's intended to show how some people's civil rights are seen as important enough to form litmus tests, and others are not.
Any Democratic nominee who would say that there is no right to abortion (or for the purists, a right to privacy) would have their nomination pulled so quickly that the Senators' heads would be forced back from the contrails.
But let someone say that there is no right to same-sex marriage, they not only don't get pulled but get praised and confirmed.
As far as I'm concerned, any nominee who is against anyone's civil rights not only doesn't deserve confirmation they don't deserve to be a Democrat.
And so far only three people on all of DU have a right to oppose me on that without being a hypocrite.
Update: Now it's four.
