Oct. 22, 2004  |  HOUSTON, Pa. -- Democratic presidential candidate
John Kerry would appoint Supreme Court justices who would safeguard a
half-century of civil rights gains, his wife said Friday.

"Fifty years after Brown v. Board of Education, we are reminded now
more than ever that we need a Supreme Court to protect our hard-won
victories," Teresa Heinz Kerry told the Pennsylvania State Conference
of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People.

"John Kerry will appoint judges that interpret our Constitution and
don't go there for political reasons to divide our country," she added
during a 20-minute prepared speech.

The NAACP had invited Bush to speak at the conference as well, but he
declined and did not send a surrogate, while Kerry sent his wife, said
Burrell Brown, president of the state conference.

Heinz Kerry focused on civil rights, education and disenfranchisement
of black voters in the 2000 election during a speech aimed at
strengthening her husband's prospects for winning Pennsylvania's 21
electoral votes in a neck-and-neck national race against President
Bush.
