And you are too stupid to realize that you gain nothing by getting into the sewer with your opponents.
The moral high ground is where I'd rather be.

Actually --- this Democrat fuss over this HISPANIC candidate, is good for the Republicans and bad for the Democrats....
The black vote is already at risk by Al Sharpton bringing his foolishness to play....and the NEW largest minority, the Hispanics are watching the Democrats refuse to accept the first Hispanic Judge to the DC Appeals courts..
Without >95% of a heavily voting black block -- there is NO Democrat party... There are not enough leftists, marxists, communists and America haters to elect a Democrat without the "enslaved/bought" black vote..
Blacks and Hispanics are seeing more clearly now that their future is NOT with the ever promising and always denying Democrat party...
The Democrats and CLINTON will have the stinking turd of "legacy" hung around their necks for decades..
The legacy of North Korea, Bosnia, Haiti, Black Hawk Down in Somalia, destruction of U.S. Intelligence, rocket technology to China for campaign money, ignoring terrorism and treating the master terrorist (Arafat) as a diplomat instead of a criminal, refusing to accept Osama bin Laden as a prisoner........I could go on for hours....
Just sit back and watch the "LEADERSHIP" of the Democrat party continue to commit suicide. NO ONE trusts them..

That's accurate; because they blue-slipped 'em. They never even let many nominations come up for consideration by the Judiciary Committee.
Oh, please. Let's remember the Clinton mob a little better here. How about Partial-Birth Foster and Teach-'Em-To-Masturbate Elders? How about Lani Guinere (sp)?
The GOP Senate gave plenty of passes to crooks and wackos. Too many. They even let Ginsberg, the old ACLU radical onto the Court without much fuss.
This isn't even remotely comparable. Estrada isn't even very conservative. Kind of RINOish, in fact.
Any white GOP judge with the same background would be confirmed instantly. The Dems are worried about keeping the Hispanics on the reservation. They're confident that they've got the blacks in the Mandingo position. But Hispanics are upwardly mobile. The danger to the Dims is that Hispanics will realize the real opportunity they can have in the GOP, especially since Bush is a very Hispanic-friendly El Presidente.
To: OldFriend
They see Estrada as a traitor to his "race". Now, a pretty good definition of a "racist" being anyone who defines themself and others on the basis of perceived membership in a "race", this attitude makes the democratic party the most racist political enterprise to come along since Adolph Hitler swallowed a 9mm pill.

From the Department of Justice:
Miguel A. Estrada
Biography
Born in Tegucigalpa, Honduras, Miguel A. Estrada immigrated to the United States with his family as a teenager. He is currently a partner in the Washington, D.C. office of Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher LLP, where he is a member of the firm's Appellate and Constitutional Law Practice Group and the Business Crimes and Investigations Practice Group.
Mr. Estrada graduated magna cum laude and Phi Beta Kappa with a bachelors degree from Columbia College, New York in 1983. He received a juris doctor degree magna cum laude in 1986 from Harvard Law School, where he was an editor of the Harvard Law Review. After law school, Mr. Estrada served as a law clerk to the Honorable Amalya L. Kearse of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit and then clerked for the Honorable Anthony M. Kennedy of the U.S. Supreme Court.
From 1990 until 1992, Mr. Estrada served as Assistant U.S. Attorney and Deputy Chief of the Appellate Section, U.S. Attorney's Office, Southern District of New York. In 1992, he joined the United States Department of Justice as an Assistant to the Solicitor General. In those capacities, Mr. Estrada represented the government in numerous jury trials and in many appeals before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. Before joining the U.S. Attorney's Office, Mr. Estrada practiced law in New York with Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz.

I appreciate Hatch's long overdue statement. Byt why is he always so flabbergasted at the absolute mendacity of the 'Rat half of the "100 greatest people in the history of the world"?
Get a clue, Orrin. Lucy will never let you kick that football.

You'll note that the Dims have slashed and burned just about every judicial candidate in recent memory. They can't win by playing by the rules, so they try to re-write the rules.

Now what has to happen is that every Republican on every news, talk, or otherwise public shows MUST ECHO THESE POINTS. They have to be made to DOMINATE this discussion! Just what I was thinking. Since we can count on non-coverage from the mainstream media, let's get Hatch's righteous denunciation -- and thunderous echoes from Republicans everywhere -- onto every talk show, Internet site, and letters-to-the-editor page possible.
To: George W. Bush
Klintoon put almost 400 people, many of them (as you note) who were complete wackos, onto the bench in the federal system.
When Bush has put the same number of people within the federal system, maybe the whining won't fall upon deaf ears.
But more important is the scorched earth tactic of a filibuster against a minority nomination - it just screams racism, partisanship, un-Americanism, etc...... and nobody, not Frist, not Santorum, not Hatch, not even Bush, is making the dims pay by launching full frontal media blitzes. Instead, they're leaving it up to Rush to carry the load, and he's doing a great job of it, but I'd like to see the Party be much more aggressive. This has got to stop.

Now what has to happen is that every Republican on every news, talk, or otherwise public shows MUST ECHO THESE POINTS. They have to be made to DOMINATE this discussion!I cannot emphasize enough how important it is to the future of this country to at least achieve some balance in the federal judiciary, which is currently loaded with so many Klintonites that every single basic premise upon which this country was founded is at risk. The danger of dropping the ball during this administration, and with a Republican Congress, in my opinion equals or exceeds the danger presented by Al Qeada, Iraq, North Korea or anything else confronting this Republic.
All those bastards can do is kill some of us, but the leftists can kill everything that made this country great, which leads to death by a thousand pin pricks for all of us, because we will no longer be Americans but something very, very different.
To: kattracks
The point that the Democrats are making is that Abortion is a litmus test. This means that Catholics and other conservative Christians are being barred from service on federal courts and the SCOTUS because of their religion. This is clearly a violation of their civil rights. Perhaps a class action suit against the filibustering senators and the DNC on behalf of Estrada and other pro-life persons and organizations is in order.
To: freethoughts
Can anyone find what courts Miguel Estrada served on before? I can't find any. Oh, so you're one of those "we change the rules as we go along kind of guys, huh? Implying that prior judicial service is a prerequisite for serving on an appellate court?
Before making that argument, you may want to check out the courts served on by Clinton's appointees to that same court. You may find that nearly half hadn't previously served as a judge either.
