"The October 4, 2001 confirmation hearing for Edith Clement is available full text online. See S.Hrg. 107-584, Pt. 1 on GPO Access http://www.access.gpo.gov/congress/senate/senate14ch107.html. This includes submissions to the record, any follow-up questions, and her questionnaire."

When are her stem cells available Dr. Specter?

[RockinRight]

Does this mean Clement's the one, for sure?

[Frank_Discussion]

What the h*ll IS that?

[Red Badger]

SSSSSHHHHHHHHHHH, don't tell anyone! It's on double super secret background!........

[Frank_Discussion]

Where is that secret decoder ring when you need it!

"Does this mean Clement's the one, for sure?"

Either Spector's office is wrong or Spector can't keep his big trap shut.

I was thrown off by this for a second too. It is when she was elevated to her current position. Sen. Spector is passing it around as background for the upcoming SCOTUS confimation of Edith Clement.

The link provided by the blog points to the hearings held by the Senate Judiciary Committee under the 107th Congress (2001-2002). The current page (http://www.access.gpo.gov/congress/senate/senate14ch109.html) does not have anything past April 13, 2005.

The worst-kept secret in town.

[deport]

Giving the Senators a heads up it seems to her 2001 confirmation hearing testimony and written responses so they can review then prior to the upcoming hearing and confirmation process is my guess.

[steveegg]

Oh, and GREAT sense of humor </sarcasm>

[Frank_Discussion]

Ah, I understand. I backgrounder document.

[Red Badger]

Worst kept secret in town? Hardly.........Valerie Plame & her husband would take issue with that.....

[Dems_R_Losers]

Hey, way to keep things confidential for the President there, Arlen.

Either Spector's office is wrong or Spector can't keep his big trap shut.

And since both of those choices are usually the case, who knows?

[borkrules]

Ummm...yes. Well.

Either Specter is part of a carefully choreographed fake-out and Bush will nominate Janice Brown or Jones to the High Court tonight or....

Spector isn't to be trusted.
