NOW to target Bush appointees to federal courts

ST. PAUL (AP) -- The National Organization for Women plans to stage a demonstration in the nation's capital this summer to oppose President Bush's nominations for federal judgeships.

Delegates to the feminist group's national conference this weekend endorsed the rally as part of a nationwide campaign of petitions, postcards and local, state and federal lobbying.

"If all of George Bush's nominations are approved, conservatives will control 11 of the nation's 13 federal circuits," NOW president Kim Gandy said.
