Richard Viguerie: Congratulations, President Obama, you’ve united the entire conservative movement MANASSAS, VA -- The following is a statement by Richard A. Viguerie, Chairman of ConservativeHQ.com, regarding President Obama’s nomination of Appeals Judge Sonia Sotomayor to the U.S. Supreme Court: “The nomination of Sonia Sotomayor unites all wings of the conservative movement--economic, foreign policy, social, traditional, neocon, and libertarian--in a way we haven’t seen since the early Clinton years.
“Judge Sotomayor frightens all conservatives. As the debate over her nomination heats up, conservatives will provide the primary opposition to Sotomayor and will quickly launch a massive educational campaign using direct mail, the Internet, talk radio, cable TV, You Tube, and other forms of new and alternative media. “It was sad to read that Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele’s comment on the Sotomayor nomination reflected the typical reaction Americans have come to expect from Republican politicians when he said that Republicans will reserve judgment on Sotomayor. “No wonder conservatives now look to talk show hosts and other unelected conservatives for leadership, rather then wet-finger Republican politicians who always seeming to be waiting to see the direction of the political winds. “It remains to be seen how active and effective Republican politicians will be on this historic fight, but conservatives are on the field, engaged, and ready to battle President Obama and all U.S. Senators who support Sotomayor.” --30--

Richard Viguerie: Conservatives welcome Sotomayor nomination as first major ideological battle since the early Clinton Years MANASSAS, VA -- The following is a statement by Richard A. Viguerie, Chairman of ConservativeHQ.com, regarding President Obama’s nomination of Sonia Sotomayor to the U.S. Supreme Court:
“Conservatives will move quickly to define Judge Sotomayor for what she is: A radical liberal who will not feel obligated to keep her commitment to her oath of office to faithfully obey the U.S. Constitution. Based on her record, she will try to make law.
“For 40 years, conservatives have not lost a major ideological debate with liberals. If we lose in the short run, we win in the long run. If conservatives lose the congressional vote, we invariably win in the following election. “While conservatives will put forth a massive effort to defeat Sotomayor’s nomination, win or lose, we will reap major benefits in the 2010 and 2012 elections. “Judge Sotomayor has a long and extensive judicial record, and conservatives will insist that the U.S. Senate not rush to judgment. America deserves a full and complete discussion of her record and the proper role of a justice on the Supreme Court. “This national discussion and debate needs to go at least through the summer and into September. --30--

Richard Viguerie: Sotomayor Nomination is a Major Opportunity for Conservatives to Define President Obama as a Radical Liberal
MANASSAS, VA -- The following is a statement by Richard A. Viguerie, Chairman of ConservativeHQ.com, regarding President Obama’s nomination of Sonia Sotomayor to the U.S. Supreme Court:
“This is an enormous opportunity for conservatives to define President Obama as a radical liberal in a way that Republicans have so far failed to do.
“This is the first opportunity in over 40 years for conservatives to have a national debate on the role of the judiciary. Conservatives always win ideological battles, either on the short run or the long run. “The primary opposition to Sonia Sotomayor will come from conservatives at the national, state, and local levels. “President Obama’s selection of Sonia Sotomayor to replace liberal David Souter on the Supreme Court will unite all wings of the conservative movement in a major effort to educate the American people on the U.S. Constitution and the proper role of the judiciary.” --30--
