The Judicial Confirmation Network launched a new ad on Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor. The 70-second ad, titled "Equal Justice Under The Law?" includes a voice over of Sotomayor's statements on gender and race, including:
"Whether born from experience or inherent physiological or cultural differences... our gender and national origins may and will make a difference in our judging."
The network is a conservative organization run by Executive Director Gary Marx, an organizer for the Bush-Cheney '04 national campaign and before that a lobbyist for The Family Foundation of Virginia. He is also president of the public policy and public affairs consulting firm of Principium Consulting. Wendy Long, the network's legal counsel, was a litigation partner at Kirkland & Ellis in New York and was a law clerk to Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas.
