Congressional Democrats yesterday defended Jamie S. Gorelick's position on the September 11 commission, one day after a leading House Republican called for her resignation.

Several top Democratic leaders cited the continued support of Commission Chairman Thomas H. Kean, the former Republican governor of New Jersey, in stating their support for Ms. Gorelick.

I think some people need to re-read the quote before they bury the Hatch.

Exactly. Sure it's mealy-mouthed...all Senators are, "My good collegue from Vermont, with all due respect, blah blah blah, yadda yadda yadda". THis is actually pretty damm good. "if these things are true and there's a conflict of interest, I trust she'll step down."...LOVE IT!

I agree that the leftist must have some damaging info on Hatch, perhaps having to do with circumventing his faith, a fatal flaw in Mormon Utah.

Well I feel we should wait for Arlen Spectator to weigh in on this, perhaps there is some Scottish precedent at work here that we don't know about or understand.

..the senator has every confidence that, if necessary, she will recuse herself from those particular aspects of the commission's work.

WHAT, What, WHAT? Every confidence/ No doubts whatsoever/ No smoking gun here/ ...these aren't the droids we're looking, move along. Move along...

[Thommas]

All I want to know is, are the DNC photos of Orin with a live boy, a dead girl, or a goat?

..or his six wives, two of whom are his daughters.

If only Hatch had "rallied" to defend Judiciary Committee whistleblower, Manuel Miranda, the media would have had to discuss the CONTENT of the memos.....funny, Orin only rallys around democrats.

I wonder what they think of him now, in Utah.
