Roman Catholic Priest Blasts Bush’s
Choice of Miers
---------------------------------------------------
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE, Oct.6, 2005 U.S.,

Front Royal, VA—The Rev. Thomas J. Euteneuer, president of Human Life International, issued the following statement regarding President Bush’s nomination of Harriet Miers to the Supreme Court of the United States:

“‘If you are pro-life keep your mouths shut and hide in the closet if you ever hope to advance in your career,’ that is the message President Bush delivered on Monday to young lawyers and judges with the nomination of Harriet Miers to replace retiring Justice Sandra Day O’Connor.”

“The nomination of Miers is a slap in the face to pro-life lawyers and judges who have not been ashamed of the principles that inform their conscience; evidently courage of conviction disqualifies candidates for the bench.”

“We know very little about Miers, but her nomination revealed a lot about President Bush. It has become clear he is afraid to fight for the values on which he campaigned.”

“Last year Bush asked faithful Catholics to fight for him, campaign for him and vote for him and they did in record numbers; now the President lacks the stomach to fight for the values of those who put him in office.”

“Bush 41 asked us to read his lips, with disastrous results. Now, Bush 43 is asking us to trust him in a gamble with the lives of millions of unborn babies, with the health and well being of mothers, with the fate of our nation. Pro-life Catholics gambled on Bush last November, the odds do not look in our favor.”
