Odd Sensations

Gibson’s effect. Abe Foxman reconsidered. The Memogate mess. Borderline tempers. Plus more.

(Page 4 of 8)

p>Thank you for your article on this subject. Hopefully public pressure like this will help give some of the skittish Republicans some backbone. br> -- Robert Kenney /p>

Let me suggest why Republicans aren't making a first-class issue out of this, Paul: they haven't got a shred of confidence in the system that would try them for their "illegal activities" on the judiciary (i.e. the media).

More than anyone, senators on that committee know how deeply lawyers and courts have been corrupted (from both sides). If abortion clinics want certain judges, don't you think anti-abortion groups want certain judges?

I'm tired of being naive (after 53 years) and I think I understand the difference between interpreting and creating law. The problem is the right wants to interpret law and the left wants to create law in the courts since they know they can't get their laws passed in legislative bodies.

But that means that senators on the right must then be massacred in the media (the propaganda arm of the left in this country), the first step in "proving" how wrong the right is in this country.

p>Patience, Paul. You keep writing this type of article to educate us and we will continue to see through the lack of action on the right. But that doesn't make it any easier to watch. br> -- Stu Margrey /p> p> Why not file a FOIA demand to have the memos released? br> -- Richard McEnroe
