Senator blocks judicial post

U.S. Sen. Barbara Boxer is blocking the nomination of former Rep. James E. Rogan to the federal bench, citing concerns about his lead role in the impeachment proceedings of former President Bill Clinton and conservative stances on gun control and abortion.

“Congressman Rogan was one of the most enthusiastic backers of impeachment — he thought President Clinton had committed high crimes and misdemeanors,” said Boxer’s spokeswoman Natalie Ravitz.

“The Senate certainly disagreed with that conclusion, as did Sen. Boxer.”

Rogan, currently a judge of the Superior Court of California, left Congress in 2000 when he lost his seat to Rep. Adam Schiff, who represents Pasadena, Burbank and Glendale.

At least I have ONE Senator doing the job she was elected to do.

3. Amen, La Taz!

As a Californian, I totally agree. Boxer did the right thing with blocking this POS from going onto the federal bench and having a cushie lifetime appointment. He did the WRONG thing in working to impeach Clinton....paybacks are a bitch and he should have thought about it back when he made a complete ass of himself over a blow job.
