The Senate Judiciary Committee on Thursday voted 12-7 along party lines for the full Senate to cast an up-or-down vote on Dawn Johnsen to head the Justice Department's Office of Legal Counsel.

It was the second time since President Obama first nominated Johnsen one year ago that the committee has approved her nomination.

Johnsen, a law professor at Indiana University, had to be re-nominated by President Barack Obama after the Senate failed to vote on her appointment before its winter recess.

The Office of Legal Counsel provides authoritative legal advice to the president and all the Executive Branch agencies, reviewing all executive orders and proclamations to be issued by the president, the Justice Department Web site says. The office also provides legal advice to the Executive Branch on all constitutional questions and reviews the constitutionality of pending legislation.

Republican committee members who oppose the nomination made it clear that they believe Johnsen’s past activism with liberal groups such as the American Civil Liberties Union and her pro-abortion stance disqualify her for the post.

"She has aggressively opposed even modest restrictions on abortion, such as partial birth abortion, and parental involvement," Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) said at Thursday's hearing.
He cited a legal brief co-authored by Johnsen that said public facilities and public funding should be used for abortions.

"She made the argument that, quote, ‘legal abortion remains safer than childhood,’ end of quote." Grassley said. "And that bans on abortion might undermine the 13^th Amendment, which bans slavery. And that, quote, ‘forced pregnancy requires a woman to provide continual physical service to the fetus in order to further the state’s asserted interest,’ end of quote."

"O" continues attempting to appoint "left fringe" people to very important posts. They are far outside the mainstream (including this possibility). Dawn Johnson does not represent the views of most (all) Americans. Which, goes to show we must get the "far left" out of office. Their policies have no basis in reality, and they are destroying our country. They are attempting to "rule" as dictators...they are "control freaks" and apparently have no respect for the wishes of the American people.

Let see if she continues to be an advocate of abortion when it noticeably reduces the number of illegal aliens.
