In a victory for civil rights, abortion rights, and LGBT equality groups, President Obama will not re-nominate former Georgia legislator Michael Boggs to a lifetime position on the federal bench. Boggs, who was nominated last December as part of a deal with Georgia’s two Republican senators, did not receive a confirmation vote in the Senate before it adjourned.


During his time in Georgia’s House of Representatives, Boggs compiled a rather conservative voting record. Though nominally a Democrat, he campaigned on his “quality conservative Christian values,” including opposing marriage equality, opposing “homosexual Boy Scout leaders,” and supporting school prayer.


Boggs drew the opposition of civil rights legend and Georgia Rep. John Lewis (D) — as well as Rep. David Scott (D-GA), another member of the Congressional Black Caucus — for his record, including a vote to keep the Confederate battle emblem as part of the Georgia state flag.


Abortion rights advocates opposed his confirmation based on his support for granting “personhood” to fetuses, his backing of an expanded parental notification law, and his co-sponsorship of a “Choose Life” license plate that helped fund anti-abortion crisis pregnancy centers. In his May confirmation hearing, Boggs said he regretted a vote to post personal information about abortion providers online, despite the history of clinic violence against doctors.


Boggs also was opposed by LGBT organizations as he enthusiastically endorsed a 2004 effort to amend Georgia’s state constitution to ban same-sex marriage. He called the proposal “commonsensical” and “premised on good conservative Christian values,” while warning of the specter of “activist judges” who might grant equal protection to same-sex Georgians. Boggs became a state judge soon after, and is currently on Georgia’s Court of Appeals.




Thank you, Mr President.

Republicans so funny. The way they care about the unborn. Too bad they don't show the same interest in the born.

A conservative voting record and “quality conservative Christian values” hostile to the First and 14th Amendments.

School prayer is not a violation of the 1st Amendment because the schools are ran by the States, if you doubt me read the first 5 words of the amendment. You can't throw them out any more than you can the rest of it.
