Post neglected to note Brownback's conflicting statements on political tests for Supreme Court nominees http://mediamatters.org/items/200601100006 Following the first day of Samuel A. Alito Jr.'s Supreme Court nomination hearing, The Washington Post reported that Sen. Sam Brownback (R-KS) said, "The idea that there are spots on the Supreme Court reserved for certain ideologies is a falsehood. Seats on the bench are not reserved for causes or interests." But the Post failed to note that Brownback made contradictory remarks last October, when he reportedly said he would consider voting against former Supreme Court nominee Harriet Miers over the question of her willingness to revisit Roe v. Wade. http://mediamatters.org/items/200601100006 Tue, 10 Jan 2006 17:43:45 EST FOX's Garrett let GOP senator mislead on RU-486 http://mediamatters.org/items/200411300007 http://mediamatters.org/items/200411300007 Tue, 30 Nov 2004 16:32:39 EST CNN's Blitzer let Brownback get away with 527 disclosure lie http://mediamatters.org/items/200408310014 http://mediamatters.org/items/200408310014 Tue, 31 Aug 2004 19:28:52 EST
