Memos of special interest on Hill

Washington Times ^ | 11/15/03 | Charles Hurt

Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee have worked in close concert with outside special-interest groups to defeat President Bush's judicial nominees, according to internal Democratic staff memos.

In one memo to Sen. Richard J. Durbin of Illinois obtained by The Washington Times, Washington lawyer Miguel A. Estrada is singled out as "especially dangerous" because "he is Latino." Mr. Estrada, born in Honduras, withdrew his nomination to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit in September after being filibustered for eight months.

"There's been this rash of stolen Democratic memos by Republicans recently,"...

David Smith sure wants folks to think the memos were stolen by Republicans. If he had proof of his claim, I would think his lard-a$$ed, liquor-swilling boss would be shouting the thief's name from the rooftops.

It's more likely to be an old-school Democrat who's totally disgusted with what his (her) party has become.

Well, we know, FOR A CERTAINTY , that the memo Sean Hannity got, was NOT stolen and NOT given to him by a GOPer, for one. :-)

The Republicans are too weak and stupid to run ads like that. Wish they would.

[Lurker]

Being another Illinois resident, I too would love to see such an advertisement running on the Chicago airwaves.

Too bad it will never happen.

But I'll give you a bump for a great idea.

"The 14 internal documents obtained by The Times — which did not come from a Senate staffer — appear to support some of the more serious accusations made by Republicans"

Of course only the Times will print any documents which support the repubs. But .. if enough people get the message these documents send .. it could be a wholesale slaughter of the dems just 1 short year from now.

WoooHooo! It looks like the dems have a serial leaker.

And if I was a Dem .. I'd be a bit worried about this leaker

First it's our national security

Now it's the Judical System

Who knows what will be next

The democratic party...party of minorities...

Yeah, right.

[swheats]

I'd say Edwards. He's probably thinking the democrats have left him out to the wolves and is not backing his presidential campaign.

How many times will he have to announce that he's running before anyone notices?

[swheats]

Thanks for the ping. This is more good news. The 38 1/2 hours might not have been in vain once the fog clears.

[Cincinatus' Wife]

“Pass it on.”

I just did.

Democrats putting party before national interests

[Stultis]

WoooHooo! It looks like the dems have a serial leaker.

Move on.......nothing important here!

Memo BTTT

[alnick]

Mr. Smith also said the leaked documents raised serious questions about Republican tactics. "There's been this rash of stolen Democratic memos by Republicans recently," he said, citing the memo written by a staffer to Sen. John D. Rockefeller IV, West Virginia Democrat, that strategized to make political hay out of the Iraq war. "These are thefts of Democratic memos," Mr. Smith said.

And I hope they get their hands on more illuminating memos.

"These are thefts of Democratic memos," Mr. Smith said."

Where was the concern when Mr. Rumsfeld's internal memo at the Pentagon was blared all over TV and news?

Can't wait to hear old Rush's voice!!

The timing is delicious, isn't it?

[mhking]

"These are thefts of Democratic memos," Mr. Smith said.

Thefts?

Or leaks by people whose honor is higher than their employers?
