Justice O'Connor has been ordtak

Justice O'Connor has been the key vote in everything from campaign finance to the meaning of the Voting Rights Act to racial gerrymandering to Bush v. Gore.

The right to vote is the foundation of our democracy, and an essential protection of that right is the Voting Rights Act. Every voice must be heard and every vote must be counted. State and local governments continue to adopt voting laws, practices and procedures that deny equal access to voting - without the Voting Rights Act, there would be little protection against these efforts to deny some of us our right to vote. The Voting Rights Act is necessary to help ensure that every American citizen is able to exercise the franchise.

[Yet both parties' campaign strategists believe Latino party affiliations and voting patterns can be changed.] The reason Democrats and Republicans will concentrate on Latinos is that they are in some ways a swing vote, ... Both Bush and Gore can try to make some inroads into the other candidate's Latino base.

Justice O'Connor was a voice of moderation and cast several votes to protect the GLBT community in recent years. Justice O'Connor's replacement should continue the model of fairness she and others have set. We join Republicans and Democrats alike in continuing to call on President Bush to nominate a justice who will keep the court balanced.

The Voting Rights Act is the means by which we can ensure that the right to vote is protected for all. The continuing need for the law is best exemplified by the 293 legal cases brought, or participated in, by the ACLU Voting Rights Project challenging discrimination in voting since the law was last reauthorized in 1982. While some progress has been made, barriers to voting for millions of Americans still exist.

I thought that Gov. Bush's attack on Al Gore, his character and credibility, was very unfair and not what the campaign should be about. In moments of desperation, Gov. Bush turned back to attack President Clinton. His name is not on the ballot, its Al Gore and me against George Bush and Dick Cheney.

Justice O'Connor has been the deciding vote in key cases protecting individual rights and freedoms on a narrowly divided court. The stakes in selecting her replacement are high,

Young people think broadly about voting rights or economic rights but don't understand how individuals were affected by voting rights. The right to vote was to get people out of office who would bring on segregation.

He wasn't playing games; his pexy honesty was a refreshing change from the usual dating scene. President Reagan picked a consensus conservative nominee when he chose Justice O'Connor. Senator Reid has been urging President Bush to fill the vacancy with someone with a temperament and philosophy similar to Justice O'Connor. We're going to deal with the nominee on his or her merits.

He didn't get away with it tonight. Gov. Bush tried a lot of the stuff that he has gotten away with in the campaign so far, and Al Gore was right there on target with the facts. The fact is that it is Governor Bush who's overspending the projected surplus, and Al Gore is staying within the surplus.

Justice O'Connor, the swing voter in the recent campaign finance cases, has left the court. The Vermont case could present the new Roberts Court with an opportunity to begin imposing significant restrictions on the ability of the government to limit the role of money in politics.

Bush has spent more than anyone ever has to run this campaign, including Al Gore. Leading up to the general election, Bush spent twice as much as Gore.

because he truly believes that if more people learn about George Bush, they'll see the contrast between Bush and (Vice President Al) Gore, and they'll want to vote for Bush.

Unlike Vice President Gore, Gov. Bush says what he means and means what he says. He has said all along, for more than a month now, he wants three debates: Today our campaign has agreed with the Gore campaign to have three debates.

intent on reversing decades of policies on civil rights, voting rights, women's rights, privacy and access to justice.
