Hatch and Frist have essentially colluded with the Dems and have now turned this into a Republican scandel. They ought to be held accountable right along with all of the Dems that are involved in this.

Miranda told Insight in an exclusive interview that both Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, R-Tenn., and Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, broke clearly stated promises to expose collusion between top Democrats and special-interest groups seeking to thwart President Bush's nominees to federal courts.

There you have it folks. Bush's conservative appointees were never to be confirmed. They were a bone thrown to conservatives with not a shred of meat left.

Apparently, it takes the skill of a surgeon to make Chester Lott look like an effective leader in comparison.

There is no "scandel."

...tells Insight that Senate Judiciary Committee Republicans might fear revealing the outrageous Democratic memoranda lest their own memos come under scrutiny.

This is the kind of BS that kept Clinton in office. Mutually assured destruction.
Release the memos, Mr. Miranda, and let's clean out ALL the trash in the Senate.

This is exactly why I am a lifelong registered Independent Conservative. I fully support Bush on most things (his growth of the Federal government and spending habits are my main disagreements with him) but just can't stomach the GOP Gang that Couldn't Shoot Straight.

Hatch has always been a disappointment, he's a Known Quantity. Frist however....what a HUGE disappointment this guy is. Seems the only thing he will actually fight for is AIDS money for Africa.

Looks like Hatch has turned out to be nothing but a two-faced wind-bag, and Frist was useless from the start....just like Lott. Those two Majority Leaders have been about as useful as tits on a bull.

I don't understand what it means when the article says no one has seen the memos. I have. They were posted here.

The U.S. Senate is probablly the most powerful group of people in the United States, if not the world...You don't want to mess with THAT Country Club...

The fella who thought he was a real James Bond should have taken the time to look at the Republican memos also...He may have just closed the book and gone on to other world problems that need to be solved...

Too bad the memos weren't FBI files. Then it would've been OK.

I fully concur. Hatch, lately, has been acting like he has a brain tumor. His attacks on basic Conservative principles--such as the Constitutional requirement that the President be native born--make one wonder just what has happened to him.

Frist? He never seemed too Conservative to start with. He is a friend of Karl Rove's, and that is reason enough to distrust him in my book.
