Orin Hatch says the Dems are using the "pinata" strategy to defeat Estrada!

Right now they are trashing Paul Bender (sounds like Hatch is doing the job). I was one of Bender's students and can tell you that he is as far left as they come. Rah, Rah!

Additionally, Kissinger is addressing the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and just urged the Senate to give the President the resolution he wants and needs.

After Daschle's tizzy fit yesterday, maybe the democrats will be shamed into confirming Estrada. What am I saying, they have no shame.

As far as I know, it's not on TV, you can only get it on the internet.

This has to be disgusting for Hatch, having to call Schmucky Chucky, Mr. Chairman. The very sound of it made me wretch.

Factoid: Ma Estrada voted for Chuck Schumer who's serving as chair today.

Hatch: Bender has been rebuked by the senate before. He shouldn't be listened to.

Schumer doesn't dispute Estrada's record of legal excellence. He wants to see records from his time of serving in Solicitor General's office.

Schumer: have you ever told anyone that a person shouldn't clerk for Justice Kennedy because they were too liberal, etc.?

Hatch: Turning over documents from when Estrada worked in solicitors general office is a bad idea. ALL former solicitors general oppose it-- Republicans and Democrats.

Hatch submits letter from 7 living SG's on the issue.

The WaPost Editorial Board disagrees with Schumer.

WSJ Editorial Board disagrees with Schumer, too.
