Miguel Estrada needs Hispanic help and everyone's help

[Sassy]

Democrats intend to filibuster Miguel Estrada from becoming the 1st Hispanic on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia because he is a Christian, pro-life, conservative Hispanic. Dems only want left-winged Hispanics. I phoned Senators Schumer's office and e-mailed Daschelle and told them to permit a vote and that I also am a Christian, pro-life conservative. I hope some of you will join me.

Miguel Estrada, graduate of Harvard, unanimously received the highest rating from, the gold standard, from the American Bar Association.

The Dems want to damage this wonderful, brilliant man and I'm mad.

QUESTION: Does anyone know an e-mail or phone number of a Hispanic group, either in NYS or nationally, to get many Hispanics to contact Daschelle and Schumer? We should all contact them, but if Hispanics do so it will carry more weight. Schumer is one of the worst offenders.

[Religious Ideology]

With great precision, and often shielded by the smokescreen of an imminent war and a bad economy, George W. Bush is systematically working to gut reproductive freedom in the U.S. and around the world. He's using every means available to him, a strategy in which each issue supports and leverages the other. Taken together they form a pernicious web that, left unchecked, will strangle reproductive rights and access to reproductive health care services. They include: Instituting gag rules that censor free speech; supporting legislation that limits access to family planning and abortion services; sinking large sums of money into medically unproven abstinence-only sexuality education; and nominating staunchly anti-choice judges to federal benches and right-wing, religious ideologues to important scientific posts. His refusal to sign the U.N. Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW) is a testament to his overall contempt for women and his steadfast refusal to respect their fundamental civil and human rights.

[Take the high road]

The absurdity of the anti life (see? how do you like it? That is why Pro life and Pro abortion are appropriate terms) arguement that the pro life position somehow encumbers "reproductive rights". We have had this arguement at least twice before but I will say that we already have reproductive freedom; i.e. we are free to have children. These rights are however restricted by the pro abortion arguement that erroneously supports the fallacy that allowing a woman to kill her child is somehow a good thing. (What about the reproductive rights of the child? Duhhh)

"Religious Ideology" spews typical but illogical and baseless pro abortion arguements advanced by the Eugenicist movement and embraced by N.O.W., NARAL, and the people who take their money to advance its racist agenda. The arguement must be rejected.

Pro-choice? It isn't the baby's fault that the mother didn't make the MATURE CHOICE to not have sex. And now the mother wants to punish the baby. Maybe I am confused as to what Pro-choice REALLY is. Someone please educate me on what Pro-choice really is.

To the person who believes in the choice to murder - Take the High Road answered you very well, and let's see you answer Midgetbones' question.

I was reading letters to the editor and one letter said Senators Schumer and Clinton don't like Miguel Estrada, because he's not a liberal lap dog.

Miguel Estrada is an American success story. He is a legal immigrant who came to the United States from Honduras as a teenager, speaking little English, but graduating from Harvard. He unanimously received the American Bar Association's highest rating which is their "gold standard." The League of United Latin American citizens also expressed strong support for Mr. Estrada.

But many Democrats are filibustering Miguel Estrada from becoming the 1st Hispanic on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia because he is a Christian, pro-life, conservative Hispanic. While some Democrats have broken ranks from their colleagues, many Democrat politicians only want far left-wing judges in the U.S. Court of Appeals. The Republicans never once filibustered a Clinton nominee. This abomination is setting a terrible precedent.

Please call your U.S. senators and Senator Daschelle, Senate minority leader (202-224-2321), and ask them to stop the filibustering and vote for the confirmation of this brilliant, fine man. (You can also reach all the senators toll free at 1-877-762-8762, but it might be more difficult to get through rather than calling them at their individual office number.)

Jay Sekulo, atty. for Christian and pro-life causes says Estrada needs grassroots help NOW! Please tell your friends. Please tell you priests, ministers and rabbis. Please tell pro-life groups.

In my opinion the Republicans in the senate already WUSSED-OUT like cowards. If the Dems want a filibuster, the Republican majority should give it to them. Simply put, the senate will be in executive session to discuss the Estrada nomination 24 hours per day 7 days per week until the weaker party breaks.

[Please, please Mr. Schume]

too many decent careers are destroyed by this ridiculous politics and the shameful campaigns mounted to derail nominations to the bench.

[dangello]

Howcome nobody likes to mention that he went to SUNY Old Westbury?

[Sassy]

This is not just about this nomination. If they can block Miguel Estrada through filibustering, they will CONTINUE to stop all conservative nominees from becoming judges.

Many dems won't let the nomination of this extremely well-qualified man go to the floor for an up or down vote. Estrada would clearly have the majority to be confirmed, but you need 60 votes to stop a filibuster.

Estrada represents the American dream for all legal immigrants who come to our great country.

People for the American Way (I say unAmerican Way) are having their people call or send e-mails to ask U.S. senators to continue the filibustering. (People for the UnAmerican Way receive millions of dollars from unions.) We need to have our friends, even in other states, contact their senators to counter all these far-left groups.

Maybe I should call a talk show tomorrow, too.

Ridiculous, you say? Improbable, you say? Truth be known, this whole debate is ridiculous. Estrada has received the ABA's highest rating. He has served in the office of the solicitor general and in one of Washington's finest law firms, always with distinction. Of course, he leans towards the Republicans, just as most Clinton administration nominees leaned towards the Democrats. That is the way the judicial nominating process always goes.

Do the Democrats expect Republicans to nominate Democrats? And must the Democrats continue to make a judge's personal views about Democratic bugaboos a cause for rejection? Are their bugaboos so tenuously fixed in the polity that a Hispanic-American judge of Japanese heritage might overthrow their whole legal edifice? What the Democrats are telling us in the row over Estrada is that they will nix any judicial nominee whom they assess insufficiently Democratic. That is not a workable solution to the Estrada impasse.

The impasse is another example of liberals creating a problem and demanding a solution that is as bad as the original problem or worse. Years ago, their judicial activism made the politics of judicial nominees very significant. Before that, the only criteria for acceptance by the Senate were a nominee's demonstrated integrity and expertise with the law.

Legislatures are to create the law. Judges are merely to see that cases conform to the law. Such Democratic concerns as abortion and school prayer are now established in the law. No judge can change the law. Abortion and school prayer are only going to be ended if legislatures rewrite the law or amend it.

The Estrada deadlock is obviously about something other than his ability to change the law. It probably is about the Democrats' ability to hold on to the Hispanic vote. Yet if the Democrats continue to humiliate a Hispanic-American in front of the entire country, they can be sure that many proud and independent-minded Hispanics are going to drift toward the party that championed Miguel Estrada. In fact, many now are.

I urge you to oppose the nomination of Miguel Estrada to the United States Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit.

Mr. Estrada has refused to answer important questions and provide enough information about his views and judicial philosophy to allow Senators to responsibly evaluate him. In confirmation hearings, he refused to name a single Supreme Court decision with which he disagreed, despite rulings in the past that held "separate but equal" as constitutional and allowed Japanese-Americans to be sent to prison camps during World War II. He supports anti-loitering laws that are used to prevent immigrant day-laborers from earning a living.

America's working families look to the federal courts to protect our rights at work, to stop unfair labor practices by employers, and to ensure that the employers respect laws regarding fair pay and equal treatment on the job.

The Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit is where the legal rights of working people are won and lost. Please do not give Mr. Estrada a lifetime appointment to such an important court.

The Senate Judiciary Committee will soon vote on the nomination of Miguel Estrada to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit.

Of all the federal courts, none—other than the U.S. Supreme Court—is more important to working people than the court of appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit.

Mr. Estrada is a “stealth candidate” whose views and qualifications have been hidden from the American people and from the U.S. Senate. Since his nomination, Mr. Estrada has consistently refused to answer important questions about his views and his judicial philosophy. He also refuses to provide to the Senate the legal memoranda he wrote while working for the Department of Justice. Without more information about Mr. Estrada, it would be simply irresponsible for the Senate to put him on the bench.

Mr. Estrada has worked to support anti-loitering laws, laws that are used to prevent immigrant laborers from earning a living. His supervisor at the U.S. Department of Justice has said that he “lacks the judgment” and is “too much of an ideologue to be an appeals court judge.” Mr. Estrada has expressed troubling views about the role of the courts in our system of government, suggesting in a radio interview that it is wrong for people to challenge unjust laws in court.

The court is too important to workers rights, environmental protection, and other crucial safeguards to allow someone like Mr. Estrada to be appointed to a lifetime seat on the bench.

The Congressional Hispanic Caucus, the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund, and the Puerto Rican Legal Defense and Education Fund -- oppose Estrada’s nomination. Estrada is also opposed by the Congressional Black Caucus, the NAACP, the AFL-CIO, and other groups.

7 soliciter generals - 4 DEMOCRATS; 3 REPUBLICANS have written a letter saying they would NOT recommend handing over internal memos & notes & it's a TOTAL BREACH OF PROTOCOL.

The leftist Dems are disingenuous and are just looking for any excuse to stop Estrada. Senator Bennett from Utah asked Dems if they DID receive papers, then would they support a nomination and he received a "Well...ah..err.." type of response. No Justice Dept. has ever made public the internal memors of advise from staff lawyers.

Hispanic groups are STRONGLY supporting Miguel Estrada, including THE LEAGUE OF UNITED LATIN AMERICAN CITIZENS. Only leftist organizations are opposing him like the Black Caucus, NAACP (which more and more blacks are opposing themselves) and the AFL-CIO. :">

And this excerpt from aclj.org:

For the past two years there has been a battle raging in the United States Senate over the confirmation of judges to the Federal Judiciary. President Bush has made nominations of qualified men and women as called for in the United States Constitution. The responsibility of the Senate is to give "advice and consent" related to those nominations. Sadly, there has been an active, partisan attempt to block any nominee that might have a conservative, or more particularly, a pro-life position. Indeed it appears that a sign could be erected in the Senate that if you are pro-life or have deeply held religious beliefs you need not apply for a judgeship.
Senator Patrick Leahy, one of the senators opposing this confirmation, has stated in the past that this rating from the ABA is the "gold standard" for considering judges. In spite of this a majority of the Democrats in the Senate are seeking to deny confirmation to this "well qualified" candidate.
One of the complaints against Mr. Estrada is that he has not given answers which reveal his views on certain issues that might come before him as he sits on the bench - read that: how he would vote on Roe v. Wade or any other abortion related case. It has long been the policy that a judicial candidate would not be held to some "litmus test" based on the philosophical or political positions of the Senators. Mr. Estrada rightly refused to answer questions that are hypothetical in nature as to how he may or may not rule when particular issues come before him on the bench.
Judges cannot be saddled with trying to gain appointment to the bench by saying whatever Senators what them to say. They must remain independent thinkers who are committed only to justice, truth and the United States Constitution.
Another charge against Mr. Estrada is that he, nor the Bush administration, will turn over to the Judiciary Committee confidential memos that he wrote while serving as an assistant in the Solicitor General's office. The truth is he cannot do so. These were written for his superiors, and ultimately the Solicitor General, to give insight and opinion on cases that this office was handling for the U.S. Government. These memos are covered by the ethics of client confidentiality. All seven living former Solicitor Generals have expressed opposition to these documents being released.
