/p> p>I appreciate all the kind words you had for the Coast Guard. But I must take exception to the impression you gave concerning the Coast Guard. Some of the pilots are women, some of those aircrews are women, some of those radio operators are women, some of those rescue boat coxswains, engineers and crewmembers are women. Women have been an equal part of the Coast Guard since 1975. The Coast Guard does not operate under the Combat Exclusionary Law that plagues the Dept of Defense. Women are part of the highest traditions of the Coast Guard and serve where needed. In the Coast Guard, gender does not matter. Because as you say, when it comes to trying to do things right, you can't knock the Coast Guard. br> -- Judi Carey , BMC, USCG, ret. /p> p> FLINGING STARE DECISIS br> Re: George Neumayr's Demagogic Buffoons : /p> p>What the Democrats (including Specter) have inadvertently demonstrated during the hearings is their insecurity on those rulings that they know to be constitutionally bankrupt. With precedent being their only weapon, they swing it wildly hoping to land a blow on the Judge Roberts pinata. Sorry, boys, you're out of your league. br> -- Randy Gammon
