Way to go, Judicial Watch!
It's fantastic that Judicial Watch is stepping
forward to actively uproot the truth about the
corruption of the Clinton Administration!
We can't go into the 2004 Election without
knowing the Truth about Bill and Hillary Clinton!

Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt. broke in, "Before we get into McCarthyism hereLOL I wonder if Mr. Estrada and Ms. Owens wouldn't think that McCarthyism is EXACTLY what Leahy has been practicing on them.

Hatch, the committee chairman who is as conservative as Schumer is liberal, smiled back as he, "It's a great blessing for the country." Hatch must be getting ready to carry another load of liberal trash. Why else the need to build him up as the opposite of Schumer? He is by no means as Conservative as Schumer is Liberal. Hatch is luke warm at best and Schumer is a 'rabid foaming at the mouth' liberal, strike that, commie.

"But on the eve of a scheduled vote, Judicial Watch, a
conservative group, circulated letters to lawmakers alleging
it had "important evidence concerning the misuse of organized
crime operatives by the FBI" and other agencies.
During the time of the alleged illegal activity, the letter said, Chertoff
was U.S. attorney for New Jersey. "- from above article
Will we ever know the truth about the
"Legacy Era"???
1993-2000 What did the Clinton's do to Encourage Terrorism?
2004-2008 What Will HAPPEN when they get Back In!
Keep up the fight, Judicial Watch!
May you and the rest of us NEVER FORGET!!
To: Joy Angela
It looks to me like Judicial Watch was trying to stop one of Bush's judges from being confirmed. Fortunately, they failed.

Burying our heads in the sand
won't STOP the return of Bill and Hillary!
http://judicialwatch.org Because The Clinton's
AREN"T Above the LAW!!
And our ONE VOTE may not be enough
to stop what's coming!
To: Mister Baredog
That is exactly what's been going on.
The dems can do it to the repubs, but when the shoe is on the other foot ... fur flies. I think it's time for a little fur to fly from the repubs.
Actually, I heard Lott, who is head of Rules, has been authorized to set forward a plan to change the rules for the number of votes needed to approve of a judicial appointment. This is going to create a firestorm. But, according to Lott, he's prepared to blow the place up!! This can only be fun to watch!!

The Democrats fight against all of President Bush's appointments. But let one go through with giggles.
Hmmmm.
I smell a rat.

"Root out," maybe, but surely not "uproot." However, this is Judicial Watch you're talking about. Judicial Watch-- all hat and no cattle... no bang for your buck... you get my drift.
To: Joy Angela
Judicial watch is tying the nominee into corruption.. I wonder if you noticed?

The Supreme Court vacancies, sure to occur, will bring all this into the open. Clarence Thomas could not have won confirmation if these morons had been practicing this obstruction them. Time to go NUCLEAR!
It will only be fun to watch if the DEMS lose, which I think they will, one way or the other, at the ballot box.

There are no ostriches at my house.
Judicial Watch lost their credibilty with me some years ago. IMHO, they get hysterical in the manner of NewsMax. Thank you for the article, though. It's is very interesting.

Judicial Watch joined forces with Ted Kennedy to try to hold up this confirmation.
The rat you smell is Larry Klayman.

Michael Chertoff is one of the good guys,I don't know why Judicial Watch tried to sabotage him.
To: annyokie
Youre welcome.
Newsmax is a fantastic newsgroup.
The Clinton's are a serious threat to
our future and to our country!
Thank God for
http://newsmax.com and Judicial Watch.
I support their efforts 100%!
And Thank God for President Bush.
I think he knows the danger we are in.
He recently invited Judicial Watch clients
to meet with him in the Oval Office!
To: Joy Angela
FYI.......
Michael Chertoff
Nominated to: U.S Court of Appeals, Third Circuit
Status of nomination: committee hearing scheduled
Michael Chertoff is currently the Assistant Attorney General in charge of the Criminal Division. He has had a long career in Republican legal circles and has been an active member of the Federalist Society for many years. Chertoff is known as a tough prosecutor and single-minded advocate whose demeanor has been described as "intimidating" by those who work with him. 1
Though Chertoff is a loyal Republican, he has refrained from aligning himself with the right wing of the party, particularly on social issues. He has not compiled a public record of pushing ideological extremes on issues such as abortion, school prayer or vouchers.
Michael Chertoff received a "well qualified" rating from the American Bar Association. There is little doubt that he is a talented attorney and an intelligent, committed public servant. Nevertheless, his behavior in the Whitewater investigation and his current role in the War Against Terrorism raise questions about his ethics and his belief in the civil liberties of all people. Senators should question him carefully on both these matters.

U.S. Justice Department: Assistant Attorney General, Criminal Division Chertoff was nominated as head of the Criminal Division under Attorney General John Ashcroft by President Bush. His nomination was seen originally as a balance to the more right wing, ideologically-driven and controversial Ashcroft.
Since September 11th, however, Chertoff has played a key role in the war against terrorism, pursuing an aggressive agenda against suspected terrorists and Arab Americans from countries that the U.S. government claims have strong terrorism networks. Chertoff supervised the prosecution of the Zacarias Moussaoui case and has been described as "the driving force behind the Justice Department's most controversial initiatives in the war on terrorism." 3 Civil liberties advocates blame him for what they see as dangerous curtailments to free speech and the rights of criminal defendants. According to press reports, Chertoff has played a key role in several matters: first, the increase in FBI agents authority to conduct domestic surveillance; second, the use of "material witness" warrants to lock up people of Middle Eastern dissent; third, the interviewing of thousands of Middle Eastern men who entered the United States before and after the 9/11 attacks; fourth, the aggressive prosecution of Moussaoui, despite concern that the FBI had not found sufficient evidence to link him to the nineteen 9/11 hijackers. Chertoffs has not only played on active role in these cases, he has also been the first to defend controversial Justice Department policies. He spoke up for the government's right to hold suspects indefinitely without counsel as "enemy combatants," as well as the government's decision to interview 5,000 Arab Americans after the 9/11 attacks.
