Lame, lame, stupid, lame Republicans
http://www.hillnews.com/thehill/export/TheHill/News/Frontpage/091505/dem.html

Conservative strategists are drafting a letter to Democratic members of the Senate Judiciary Committee demanding the release of hundreds of internal memos detailing contacts between the lawmakers and liberal interest groups opposing John Roberts’s nomination to the Supreme Court.

By planning to press Democrats on the sensitive subject, conservatives seem to be pulling a page from the Democrats’ own political playbook. In the weeks leading up to the confirmation hearings, Senate Democrats have repeatedly called on the White House to give them memos Roberts penned while he was deputy solicitor general in President George H.W. Bush’s administration.
........
In their letter, conservatives quote Leahy’s argument that the Senate should have access to the withheld documents. In the letter, they assert that the public is equally entitled to know what is motivating and directing Senate Democratic scrutiny of Roberts, according to a verbal summary given to The Hill.

“Given your demand that the Justice Department hand over John Roberts’s work documents during his time as deputy solicitor general, you should have no reservations about approving the release of the full complement of documents that make up all of the Memogate papers,” conservatives wrote in a draft of the letter, which will be circulated for signatures starting today. About 30 conservative leaders or more are expected to sign it.

They're referring to the papers that were stolen from the judiciary dem's computers.

IF those members were up for confirmation as CHIEF JUSTICES, there *might* be some equivalence between the Roberts docs and the Democrats' correspondence with constituent interests and stragtegists. :eyes:

You'd think these goons would be easier to beat!

2. It's a case of "I know you are, but what am I?"
Classic childhood line, but it'll have about as much effect now as it did then.

3. Wow. A chief justice will be in the head of 1/3 of the Government for
the next 30 years.

They are nuts. But unfortunately their drunk little followers will buy every word.
