Leaked Memos Reveal Democrats’ Strategy for Judges     5/11/2005

They show a ‘win at any cost’ mentality.

Several memos directed to key Democratic senators on judicial nominations were leaked in late 2003 to the Wall Street Journal, which published an editorial about them. The memos disclose the strategies underlying Senate Democrats’ pattern of obstruction of President George W. Bush’s judicial nominees.

The memos reveal:

  • Senate Democrats’ collusion with extreme leftist groups, such as NARAL Pro-Choice America and People for the American Way;
  • The decision to single-out nominee Miguel Estrada because he was Hispanic;
  • A 2001 memo to Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Illinois) that says, “Most of Bush’s nominees are Nazis.”

The tactics in these memos continue today, nearly 2 ½ years later, through the misuse of the filibuster, which has prevented 10 of President Bush’s nominees to receive up or down votes on the Senate floor.
