Schumer is equating judicial reasoning with mainstream (whatever that is)thinking. They are far from the same thing.
Thanks. I got off track.
Thus far I'm very disatisfied with the Republican response on the issue of releasing Robert's memos, research and writings when he was Solicitor General/White House Counsel.
Though most Americans are familiar with attorney client privilege, I doubt that they think of the president as the "client" in this case. That needs to be driven home. Explain that such memos are the background for eventual legal positions. I.e., they contain legal arguments which may or may not have ever seen the light of day in a given case. The public has no right to know the give and take which results in the final legal argument...they only have the right to know the argument that is put forth in court.
I'm not saying it very well...Fred Thompson could surely put it better. But they need to get THAT simple for people to understand why the WH is not turning over his working papers.
