p>"I don't think we should lower ourselves to the Democrats' level on these issues, " says the Justice Department aide regarding the Estrada nomination. Which is why the Democrats win so often and the Republicans do not; the Democrats never waste time worrying about going down and dirty, they just do it, instinctively. By contrast, the Republicans insist on taking "the high road"; they disdain the fray. I doubt that their approach to politics would sit well with the Founders, who never hesitated to engage in robust debate. The Republicans had better go out on the street and get in the fight, or they are going to lose another one, an important one. br> -- John G. Hubbell br> Minneapolis, MN /p> p> I have always felt that the Republicans are too timid in the way they confront the Democrats on a lot of issues. The way they are handling the Estrada appointment is a good example. They need to hammer away at the Democrats for trying to block Estrada and not be concerned that they will be sinking to the same levels as the Democrats. As long as they stick to the facts and the truth there is nothing to fear. In fact they will be doing everyone a big favor by revealing the Democrats for what they are for trying to block Estrada's appointment. br> -- Dick Melville br> Ozone Park, NY /p>

A couple of weeks ago, I asked my daughter how the "fetus" was. She inferred I was suggesting there was something less than human about her wonderful three-month-old little boy and told me she didn't appreciate my weak attempt at humor. I protested I just thought he slept a lot. I doubt that Senators Biden, Clinton, Edwards, Kennedy, Kerry and Leahy would see any humor in my gaffe -- because of their fervent belief that a fetus is human only when they, in their supreme ignorance, are willing to say it is, i.e. after an abortionist has eschewed the opportunity to drag it, fully formed, from the womb and crush its skull.

p>Isn't it a sorry commentary that all Miguel Estrada need do to secure his nomination, with nigh unanimity, would be to deny the humanity of the millions of fetus's being murdered around the world -- the N.Y. Times , Washington Post
