'The case was fixed' (Michigan affirmative action case)

Washington Times ^ | 11/18/03 | Charles Hurt

Senate Democratic staffers and a judge appointed by President Carter made extraordinary efforts last year to ensure that a liberal majority sat on the federal appeals court that heard the Michigan affirmative action cases, according to internal Democratic staff memos.

If I'm reading this right......there are other bombshells to come.

Yes and it would seem they know which ones they are

Might explain why Durbin had the Capital Police take the computers/server

I don't think the leaker is staff..

[nathanbedford]

And what unmitigated arrogance!

Usurpation of representative democracy by an ideologically driven judiciary is the practical equivalent of a usurpation and coup by the military.

I think that has crossed the minds of many here at FR. Idealogy has primacy over the Constitution as far as the left is concerned. It took time of course, but finally they got enough idealogical judges in place who agree with them. It is equivalent of an overthrow, albeit at a snails pace. And look at all the b@stard Democrats who have gone along with this for decades. Republican leaders still don't understand.

I stand by my original statement.

Just shows once again it doesn't matter who wins next year. There's no difference between Bush and the Dems. </ sarcasm>

The Senate RATS fixing a court case, please tell me it isn't so!

[aristeides]

The Sixth Circuit scolded Boyce Martin for his irregular handling of the Grutter case some months ago. I wonder if it would now be possible to move for more serious sanctions than a scolding.

[the Real fifi]

I think the memo indicates a strong possibility that the Committee (or some of its members and staff) played a role in it. Enough evidence to warrant a grand jury investigation...and IIRC we've seen only 3 of the purported 6 memos so if any of these relate to the 6th Circuit cases, someone might be getting very concerned right now.

If this thing happened in "civilian life," there would be a RICO investigation and a lot of convictions with heavy sentences. Can't something like that happen with the exalted Senate?

[Chu Gary]

Senator Orrin Hatch is a GREAT American!!!

[upchuck]

Pardon me while I kick a dead horse a few more times...

It has been, currently is and will continue to be...

All about the judges.

It's very clear the RATS fully understand this. Why don't we?

Nobody but the House and Senate can "vote" a Federal judge off the bench.

Yes, I am well aware of that. Thanks for the useless information. I take it you did not read all the posts on this thread. Just a guess.

[metesky]

Why yes, I see on scrolling that a few others picked up on your middle school mistake, oh cranky one.

[Peace will be here soon]

Yes, we all do make mistakes. I forgot to take my cranky pill this morning.
