Great post and thread, votelife. I learned a lot from you and the other posters to this thread and I've bookmarked it.

Thank you.

thanks for your encouragement. I'm trying to keep the intensity up on FR for these nominees. I know it's frustrating because Estrada was nominated over 2 years ago, but the long term goal is a more conservative Supreme Court, not one conservative on the DC court. So all of our letters, calls, etc help Washington realize that this is a major issue. I've called the NRSC and told them that judges was the #1 reason why I voted Bush in 2000 and Repub in 2002. And that I want more defense of Bush's nominees. I've also made calls and told Senators that internet conservatives are getting frustrated with Frist/Bush bc Estrada and all aren't getting confirmed. I've also taken to writing "Free Miguel Estrada" on the backs of envelopes I'll send to George Bush or to Senators, as I saw you did.

Another Freeper, Hoosiermania I think, has stood out in front of Evan Bayh's office holding pro-Estrada signs.

If FR keeps up the heat on this issue, and at this point, I think it's more important to pressure Republicans, than I think we'll get our judges.
