By Greg Sargent Web Exclusive: 11.24.04 Print Friendly | Email Article With the attention of the political world now turning to the 2006 midterm elections, the GOP is already preparing one facet of their strategy: They’re hoping to use the looming battles over judicial nominations to rile up their evangelical base and to paint Democrats as liberal obstructionists determined to block President George W. Bush’s choices at any cost. Here’s a name you’ll hear more and more when that...

Hatch fires back at his conservative critics By Alexander Bolton Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-Utah), the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, is firing back at conservative critics on and off the Hill who have lambasted him for not moving more judicial nominees out of his committee. The rift stems from Hatch’s handling of a Senate sergeant at arms investigation into the unauthorized access of close to 5,000 internal Democratic Judiciary Committee documents from committee computers.

To hear Democrat Presidential-candidate John Kerry tell it on the campaign trail, not only is unemployment the fault of President Bush, but he's practically handing out pink slips to unwitting workers across the nation personally. The campaign rhetoric coming from the Left on the economy is only slightly less histrionic than their anti-war slogans. There is an opportunity, however, for Senator Kerry to do something good for the economy and jobs by tearing himself away from the campaign trail long enough to vote this week for the Ensign-Boxer "Invest in the USA Act" which is part of the FSC-ETI bill....

Kennedy to slow judicial confirmation to affect ruling Posted: November 18, 20036:29 p.m. Eastern © 2003 WorldNetDaily.com Newly discovered internal Democratic staff memos raise the question of whether one of the most significant rulings on affirmative action in a quarter-century was rigged.

<p>Several conservative activists charge that an NAACP attorney acted unethically and should be disbarred for asking Sen. Edward M. Kennedy to stall the confirmation of a judicial nominee who the lawyer feared would rule unfavorably on a case involving the group.</p>

<p>WASHINGTON — Frustration is running high among critics angry that attention paid to a batch of Democratic memos — including one describing special interest influence in the confirmation process of President Bush's judicial nominees — has focused more on the leaks than the potentially explosive content of the documents.</p>

<p>Judge for Yourself Are Senate Democrats determined to keep believers off the bench?</p> <p>A study of the earliest federal judicial nominees reveals that they were expected to be of the highest character, display sober temperament, experience no incidents of moral turpitude, and profess a belief in God and the Bible. A federal judge's public display of faith was considered to be a mark of the highest ethical standards and an indication of fairness and concern for all who would seek justice in the courts.</p>
