Evidently you have not been keeping up with the forum. It was discussed in several threads on FR. Estrada is Bush's council and approves Bush's actions. Ted Olsen prepared a strongly worded brief opposing affirmative action. Estrada watered it down, even suggesting that in some instances affirmative action was desirable. Ted Olsen was Po'd which I can't blame him. Colin Powell and Condaleeza Rice also made statements supporting affirmative action.

My question still stands. Can you square the Constitution with affirmative action where everybody is to be treated equally? If you can you are a revisionist where the Constitution can be subverted to suit your whims. Not a good start for a potential justice if you believe in the Constitution.

White House Counsel Alberto Gonzales is NOT the same person as U.S. Court of Appeals (D.C.) Nominee Miguel Estrada.

Mr. Gonzales is the one who watered down Ted Olsen's University of Michigan brief. Miguel Estrada's nomination to the D.C. Appeals Court is currently being opposed by the Dems because they fear he is PRO-LIFE and may eventually be nominated to the United States Supreme Court and overturn Roe v. Wade.

Two separate individuals. Two separate issues.

Estrada is Bush's council

He is?

[William McKinley]

Obviously you cannot keep hispanic sounding names straight. Why that would be is another question.

Bush's counsel is not Estrada. It is Gonzalez.

It's Gonzales who is Bush's counsel, not Estrada!
