This is great news and should invoke cloture for the filibuster to allow a vote which will confirm Mr. Estrada!

A few quotes from today's press conference:

"We urge every Senator to treat Miguel Estrada fairly and to vote to confirm." - Hispanic Bar Assn.

 

"We don't want to be treated as double standards." -Robert de Posada, Latino Coalition

 

"This is a very serious issue for our community and no politician should take this lightly. We urge the Senate to act responsibly and urge an up or down vote. " - Robert de Posada, Latino Coalition

 

"It's of grave concern to those of us with family in the military and overseas that Rome is burning while the Senate is fiddling." - Kay Daly, spokesperson for the "Coalition for a Fair Judiciary."

 

"We rarely have seen, if ever, a record of accomplishment (like) Miguel Estrada." - Juan Carlos Iturregui, Hispanic National Bar Assn.

 

"We urge Senate to vote on this confirmation NOW. Not next month..." -Juan Carlos Iturregui, Hispanic National Bar Assn.

 

"We also are concerned that some members of the Senate are trying to impose a higher standard of review that is unprecidented." - Juan Carlos Iturregui, Hispanic National Bar Assn.

Have the 'rats run this thing through enough iterations that they've decided "Hey, if we don't stop Mr. E, we'll lose more people that want to kill babies than we'll gain in Latinos - we've got most of them anyway"?

Ragtime Cowgirl, I just wanted to compliment you on your passion for the confirmation of Miguel Estrada. You have been truly outstanding and we all join with you! This man deserves confirmation..and as far as the Supreme Court down the line, I would be thrilled! The RATS treachery must be stopped!

Contact your senator -- phone, snail mail, email, fax -- just do it!

Asking all Freepers to ping their Senators and ask for this Estrada nomination to be brought to a vote.

Yes, even the dim Senators! Especially the dim Senators!!!!!!
