NY Times Calls for Rejection of Miguel Estrada
The New York Times, in an editorial today, calls Miguel Estrada, one of Bush's judicial picks who is scheduled to be voted on today in the Senate, An Unacceptable Nominee
The Senate Judiciary Committee is scheduled to vote tomorrow on Miguel Estrada, a nominee to the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals. Mr. Estrada comes with a scant paper trail but a reputation for taking extreme positions on important legal questions. He stonewalled when he was asked at his confirmation hearings last fall to address concerns about his views. Given these concerns, and given the thinness of the record he and his sponsors in the administration have chosen to make available, the Senate should vote to reject his nomination."There's more, we recommend you read it--and fax your Senator today.
