I cant stand it, Lautenberg just played the race card on Estrata. That is not going to go over very well with the hispanic communities here in Jersey.

Plus, the RATS want someone who will adjust the law to the situation or the person. They absolutely fear any Jusge who makes rulings based on what is written in the books.

I agree with everything you said about Hillary -- she will do anything to keep him from being confirmed. She is running that War Room -- typical Hillary tactic route all calls to the Republicans so they can say they didn't get any negative calls.

Whatever is buried at DOJ about the clintons must be really something!

"I sure hope that Hatch gets the floor later this evening. Last nights show was outstanding. "

It was "Must see TV". :)

I believe it is called strategery. Never let the opposition know which direction you are coming from.

And he comes at them from many sides at once. He may appear fun-loving on the outside but I think a ruthless competitor resides on the inside. He runs circles around them and they still don't get it. Let's hear it for strategery!

Lautenberg just let the cat out of the bag said, "If you are not for Row Wade, just say it."

It wasn't so much a theory as a question:

Do the clerks write position papers based on their own beliefs and opinions, or are they assigned topics to research and report back, based on the law and precedent, regardless of their own opinions? I ask because I could see where Democrats would take papers written by Estrada as evidence against him when they might not be reflective of his own opinions, just law research.

I also likened it to the OJ trial (don't know if the analogy was a good one or not):

Then the Republicans will have to give analogous reasons why they say no and why the Democrats' request is wrong. For instance:

The Democrats are asking for the equivalent of the results of OJ's polygraph that his lawyers had him take. OJ took a polygraph test, but his lawyers never released the results -- it was internal work product between a lawyer and his client. Marcia Clark asked to see the results, but Johnnie Cochran said no, it was protected by lawyer/client privelege. Clark could keep asking and asking, even go to the press and complain that OJ wasn't releasing his polygraph test. Was OJ obstructing the trial?

The Democrats are asking for the equivalent of OJ's polygraph tests.

Lautenberg could have come out a little more credible if he wouldn't have come out with the talking points.

I heard clearer streams of thought the last time Strom was at the mic that what I've heard from ANY RAT over the last two days.

It sure was. I felt like I was watching a sporting event of some kind - it was great cheering him on!

My guess -- Hillary knows exactly what Estrada stands and probably has his opinion in her hot little hands as I stated before on something to do with abortion. She obtained the document illegally I am sure and thus cannot share it so we have her stooges out alluding to it!
