The memoranda are not the property of Estrada, and he can't release them.

My post (mischaracterized in yours) said that the WHITE HOUSE refuses to release the memoranda written by Estrada. Surely, even you must recognize that the WHITE HOUSE is able to release the memoranda without any ethics breach.

Besides, they're only memoranda, not blueprints for nuclear weapons. During President Clinton's term, how many of the Repukes whose talking points you quoted would have cared whether a WH counsel's memoranda were released publicly?

Nevermind.....I have my President now.

Seven LIVING present and former solicitor generals say they can't.

Of course, what did the rule of law every mean to you.

Hey, MurryMom. President Bush is speaking on CNN. I'm sure you don't want to miss it.

No need to thank me.

Well if the WH does .. Hillary BEST hope no one on her staff or who has ever worked for her is never nominated because then HER PERSONAL Staff memos would have to be release under these terms

I can just bet we would fine out all kinds of juicy information

Sooooooooooo ... I'm guess the Dems REALLY don't want to go down this road

[Steel Eye]

Just what is it that the Democracts want Mr. Estrada to confess to?

"Mr Estrada... are you now, or have you ever been, a member of the Boy Scouts?"

Actually, the Justice Department has those briefings that Estrada wrote while working in the Solicitor General's office and it would be an ethics breach to release them. That's why the 7 living SG's wrote a letter to the RATS saying so. This is about revenge. One of the three SG's that Estrada worked for was the SG in the Bush 41 White House. A man by the name of Kenneth Starr. Does that name ring any bells??

Yeah Right, MurryMom, like that he lost the codes for the nuclear football...

That was released....(sarcasm off)

Clintoooon's memos would have sealed his fate in the Fed Pen....Where he belongs!

I'm sure that you are aware that the "memoranda" being discussed here are those that lawyers like Estrada, working for people like the Solicitor General, write when assigned a case by the boss. The lawyer in question may not agree with the position that he/she is assigned to write but since they are good lawyers and good employees to do what they are told.

Now consider that such a lawyer, a few years down the line, is nominated for a judgeship. And the Senate asks for copies of these memoranda. Just how many would the Senate have to get before the Solicitor General would find it impossible to find another lawyer stupid enough to write a memo?

And that is exactly why all seven living Solicitors General (four DemocRATs and three Republicans) have been adamant in telling the Justice Depart NOT TO RELEASE the memos.

Your RAT friends are arguing against those seven living Solicitors General in the Senate, and they will lose, they will lose and they will lose.

What part of attorney-client privledge do you and Schumer not understand?

You, I can understand not knowing abotu attorney-client privledge, but Schumer is supposedly a lawyer - he, of all people should know better.

The Left is trying to lynch Estrada's reputation.

[TaRaRaBoomDeAyGoreLostToday!]

You post like a democrat...it also almost looks like, a liberal leftists one, at that.

[WOSG]

still wrong: The memos are at the DoJ. The DoJ properly will not release them.

This is a Democratic witch hunt.
Have they no shame?
