Freepers, rather than waiting to see what happens with Estrada, we need to take the lead. That means presuring Senators, special interest groups, media organizations, etc. This thread is meant to be an ongoing effort to get this man confirmed. For too many years liberals have had their way on the courts. Now, President Bush is in a position to move the courts to the right. The election of '02 showed that the country is with the President. I think it's time to let Daschle, Hillary, and Pelosi know this is Bush country. Are you with me! Let's FREEP these people.

Thank you, votelife.
A few quotes from today's DC press conference, held by hispanic groups in support of Miguel, airing on C-Span:
"We urge every Senator to treat Miguel Estrada fairly and to vote to confirm." - Hispanic Bar Assn.
"We don't want to be treated as double standards." -Robert de Posada, Latino Coalition
"This is a very serious issue for our community and no politician should take this lightly. We urge the Senate to act responsibly and urge an up or down vote. " - Robert de Posada, Latino Coalition
"It's of grave concern to those of us with family in the military and overseas that Rome is burning while the Senate is fiddling." - Kay Daly, spokesperson for the "Coalition for a Fair Judiciary."
"We rarely have seen, if ever, a record of accomplishment (like) Miguel Estrada." - Juan Carlos Iturregui, Hispanic National Bar Assn.
"We urge Senate to vote on this confirmation NOW. Not next month..." -Juan Carlos Iturregui, Hispanic National Bar Assn.
"We also are concerned that some members of the Senate are trying to impose a higher standard of review that is unprecidented." - Juan Carlos Iturregui, Hispanic National Bar Assn.

Ted Kennedy (Mass.): Senators who feel strongly about the issue of fairness should vote for cloture, even if they intend to vote against the nomination itself. It is wrong to filibuster this nomination, and Senators who believe in fairness will not let a minority of the Senate deny [the nominee] his vote by the entire Senate." (Congressional Record, June 21, 1995)

I don't see La's Sen. Landrieu on this against list. I think she should be flooded with mail after her election promises.

Landrieu has been added. WE NEED TO KEEP THIS THREAD BUMPED UNTIL ESTRADA IS CONFIRMED! Instead of having multiple Estrada activism threads, let's keep it simple and have one good one, with plenty of numbers/emails/faxes/etc.

as lawdude just said, "Brit Hume just showed the Dems crying and wailing and pissing and moaning about the possibility of a filibuster back in the 90's. My, my, my, how times, they are a changin'!"
Thank you Brit Hume!
