You might've heard that yesterday, that some of President Obama's judicial nominees have ÀÏ°ÄÃÅ¿ª½±½á¹û affiliations and exhibit an "ÀÏ°ÄÃÅ¿ª½±½á¹û chromosome."

Laura Murphy, Director of the ÀÏ°ÄÃÅ¿ª½±½á¹û's Washington Legislative Office (and someone who probably has some ÀÏ°ÄÃÅ¿ª½±½á¹û DNA herself), said in a statement last night:

"Senator Sessions' reference to 'ÀÏ°ÄÃÅ¿ª½±½á¹û DNA' in President Obama's judicial nominees should be greeted as a welcome discovery by all Americans, regardless of party. For 90 years, the ÀÏ°ÄÃÅ¿ª½±½á¹û has defended the rights enshrined in the Constitution for everyone, regardless of their political beliefs. While not everyone agrees with us on every issue, Americans have come to rely on the ÀÏ°ÄÃÅ¿ª½±½á¹û for its unyielding dedication to principle.

Laura goes on to point out that Supreme Court justices Thurgood Marshall, Felix Frankfurter, Arthur Goldberg and Ruth Bader Ginsburg all had ÀÏ°ÄÃÅ¿ª½±½á¹û affiliations. "If you ask us, ÀÏ°ÄÃÅ¿ª½±½á¹û chromosomes make for a pretty remarkable gene pool," she concludes.
