What was Estrada doing in the Clinton Justice Department? Maybe conservatives ought to want to see this material.

The fact that he worked for Clinton IS concerning. Maybe he worked for Clinton for resume padding to help the confirmation. He is a good friend of Ann Coulter's and he is thanked in the front of her book Slander. And Coulter told Begala on Crossfire that "He'll turn over everything you love." So, I give Estrada the full benefit of the doubt. Bump for Estrada!

Orignally brought in under the Bush Admin and left in 1997 I think......

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.

easy...working for the Solicitor General...like Bork was once...it has little to do with ideological background.

I believe this is why the DEMS are having such a hard time with this. If Estrada was in the Justice Dept during the impeachment, he could have gotten a reputation as someone who had "differing" opinions than the other political hacks that were there.

The solicitors general would not object perhaps, but a certain Senator who resided in the White House during the impeachment may have some inside knowledge. She is the reason this is being filibustered.
