Martha Burk Opposes John Roberts Nomination

Martha Burk and the National Council of Women's Organizations (NCWO) have come out against the nomination of John Roberts as Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. This stance made me think of two questions:

1. When Burk was trying to get Augusta National to integrate their men's only clubhouse the New York Times time and again portrayed her as an important voice of women in America. I would argue that the nomination of a Supreme Court Justice will have a much bigger impact on women than getting a woman into a private golf club and yet the Times has not made mention of the NWCO's opposition to Roberts. If Burk is such an important voice for women in this country - why isn't the New York Times covering her on this subject?

2. Eric at Off Wing Opinion pointed out that that Burk is also protesting the NHL and their new ad campaign. Could it be that Burk is just throwing things up against the wall to see what sticks?

What does Heywood Jablome think of all this?
