Sestak To Specter: Don't Screw Over Dawn Johnsen Again

By GottaLaff

All previous posts regarding the obstruction of Dawn Johnsen's confirmation here. How frustrating that there are so many.

Now Joe Sestak is using that obstruction to his, and eventually our, advantage:

Rep. Joe Sestak (D-PA), who wants Sen. Arlen Specter's (D-PA) Senate seat, is needling his opponent over his role in preventing the confirmation of one of President Obama's top Justice Department nominees [...]

After you joined your Republican colleagues in successfully blocking Professor Dawn Johnsen from receiving a fair up-or-down vote last year, the President has decided to resubmit her nomination this year.

With Democrat Senator Ben Nelson opposed to Johnsen, but Republican Senator Richard Lugar strongly in favor, that means that all it takes is your vote to put a principled, qualified progressive in this key position.

What really matters is getting Johnsen in... finally, once and for all, at long last, already. Here's why:

Sestak goes on to allege that Specter might not want Johnsen--known for being a strong critic of Bush administration policies--to have the power to pull back the veil on a number of government scandals.

And then he sticks it to Specter. Go here and read all about it. If this is what it takes to get Dawn Johnsen confirmed, then I say, "Stick it to him harder, Joe."
