WASHINGTON — A top Senate attorney who resigned under pressure this month following a controversial leak inquiry says he will continue to bring attention to the Democratic memos at the heart of the investigation despite focus on the questionable acquisition of the documents.
....
"I have knowledge of other still unpublished documents that evidence a violation of the public trust in the judicial confirmation process on the part of Democratic senators on the Senate Judiciary Committee," Miranda wrote in a complaint to the ethics panel on Monday.
"This includes evidence of the direct influence of the Senate’s advice and consent role by the promise of campaign funding and election support in the last mid-term election."
Senators Break With Activists on Computer Hacking Case
Breaking ranks with conservative activists, several Senate Judiciary Committee Republicans joined Democrats yesterday in supporting an investigation into the infiltration of Democratic files on judicial nominations by GOP committee staffers. Â Â
Despite some expectations that the normally quarrelsome committee's first public discussion of the investigation could set off political fireworks, the session was unusually harmonious, marked by bipartisan expressions of outrage over computer snooping.
"Conservatives who offer justification for this based on politics have missed the boat," said Sen. Lindsey O. Graham (R-S.C.). "As a conservative, it runs against my philosophy of what the law is all about."
so it is okay to lie about something that has to do with sending troops to war? And yes the accusations are nothing but lies. But what about an oath? I mean marriage is an oath and the presdient takes an oath. If a person can keep his marriage oath do you think he'll have much luck keeping his oath of office?
why is the main stream press keeps harping on Bush's national guard service but have yet to see a story on Kerry's alleged infidelity?
From what I hear, the mainstream press isn't running the story -- aside from mentioning that Matt Sludge is running a story about it -- because there's no there there. In other words, it's a rumor, nothing more, and there's nothing to back up the rumor. If there's nothing to back up a story, reputable journalists are expected not to run the story. If all that was needed was clandestine whispers, there's a whole bunch of rumors about why, exactly, GW Bush stopped drinking that would make very exciting reading.
In the case of Bush's national guard service, there's considerably more factual material available, and there seems to be a conflict between the pay records released the other day and Bush's official evaluation in May 1973; the pay records say he was pulling Texas duty in early '73, but the commanding officers of his unit wrote, for the official record, that they could not do an evaluation of Lt. Bush, because "Lt. Bush has not been observed at this unit during the period of this report." (i.e., May '72 through April '73)
From what I hear, the mainstream press isn't running the story -- aside from mentioning that Matt Sludge is running a story about it -- because there's no there there. You can say that about Bush's national guard service but it didn't stop the presses.

All they have is whispers about Bush national guard service. There is no difference. It is clear that false statements can be made about Bush and the press will run wild. Any statements made about Kerry will, it seems, will be ignored.
"This rumor has been out there for months and months," Neil Oxman, the prominent Democratic consultant based in Philadelphia, said last night. He said there were various versions, including several that had Kerry dating a young woman well before the 2000 election, when Al Gore looked at Kerry as a potential running mate.
Yes and the rumor that Bush was awol has been out there for four years. I suppose there must be an open and on going investigation on considering the serious nature of the allegation.
Intrigue surrounds a woman who recently fled the country, reportedly at the prodding of Kerry, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned.
A serious investigation of the woman and the nature of her relationship with Sen. John Kerry has been underway at TIME magazine, ABC NEWS, the WASHINGTON POST, THE HILL and the ASSOCIATED PRESS, where the woman in question once worked.
GHWBush had a mistress...why didn't that get investigated?
and when you join the Guard, don't you take an oath to show up to things like mandatory medical exams? The allegation is that he didn't show up because they had recently instituted a drug test as part of the exam and Bush couldn't pass it.
GHWBush had a mistress...why didn't that get investigated? Really?
and when you join the Guard, don't you take an oath to show up to things like mandatory medical exams? The allegation is that he didn't show up because they had recently instituted a drug test as part of the exam and Bush couldn't pass it.
Yes an allegation with no supporting evidence that must be brought up adnauseam.
that he failed to show up for a mandatory medical exam is a fact. And it has been explained over and over and over. You crackpots just can't accept it and eats you that you can't prove something else. You know why you can't prove anything else?It is because there is nothing else to be found. Get over it.
that drug use was very common in party settings then is a fact. That you and your ilk like to speculate and pass it off as fact is -well- uh - FACT.
That Bush's commanding officers wrote in May of 1973 that they could not fill out First Lieutenant Bush's 1972 - 1973 evaluation because First Lieutenant Bush had not been observed at that unit during the past yearis a fact, not a rumor, jethro. You seem to have comprehension problems when reading things with which you do not agree.
Furthermore, despite flight training that cost the taxpayer about a million bucks and a written promise to keep flying for the National Guard for five years, First Lieutenant Bush blew off taking his flight physical in 1972, which barred him from flying and was, in essence, disobedience of a direct order, and never flew again. Despite this, he was released from his sworn obligation to the people of the United States eight months early to go to biz school. What was it you were blathering upthread about breaking vows?
[blowing off his mandatory flight physical] has been explained over and over and over.
Over and over and over? I must have missed it, and I've been paying closer attention to this that you have, I guarantee. What is today's Official Explanation of GW Bush's refusal to take his flight physical? Aside from a lame and unconvincing statement that he didn't take it because he was in Alabama and his personal physician was in Texas, I haven't heard any repeated explanation(s). And the one cited above is bullshit, because you don't take Air Force flight physicals from your personal physician.
I was thinking the same thing, Torp -- Crabs ought to approve of GW. But I've been waiting in vain for him to come to some sort of defense of the President's actions. He retreats into the "quit talking, quit stalking" quotes, which appear to be his only available response when he can't answer your challenges. It's getting old.
He retreats into the "quit talking, quit stalking" quotes
no...Torpedo-8 asked me to quit talking to him and then continues to try to talk to me. Not a retreat at all.
when he can't answer your challenges.
he's the one who told me to quit talking to him.
talk about your no win scenarios
I don't care if GW uses drugs...but I do care that if he does, he admits it and then works to stop locking up people who do they same as he did. It's not the drug use, it's the locking other people up for it.
the demand to stops talking to him and the continued attacks on and questioning of me are a bullshit tactic. One that others now appear to also be adopting...this "leave so we can talk shit about you" is bullshit.
it's not me who doesn't want to talk to you...it's you who doesn't want me to talk to you. Remember?
"Quit talking to me crabgrass" - Torpedo-8
simple enough even for you...and
Is someone there forcing you to answer?
I haven't been answering, I've been posting the fact that you claim to not want me to talk to you...and you keep trying to talk to and about me.
is someone forcing you to try to talk to someone you claim you don't want talking to you?
crabs in the role of the victim...again.
the only victim is the one complaining about my method of showing you that you are trying to get me to talk to you dispite saying that you don't want me to talk to you.

Judiciary GOP Supports Probe
Senators Break With Activists on Computer Hacking Case
I say investigate both. But hey if the Democraps were taking bribes they need to go down.
Question: why is the main stream press keeps harping on Bush's national guard service but have yet to see a story on Kerry's alleged infidelity?
because he isn't going to be sending young American servicepeople overseas to have sex?
so it is okay to lie about something that has to do with sending troops to war? And yes the accusations are nothing but lies. But what about an oath? I mean marriage is an oath and the presdient takes an oath. If a person can keep his marriage oath do you think he'll have much luck keeping his oath of office?

Someone has made the allegation. We must investigate!!!!!! For four years or more, as long as it takes to get the answer we want!!!!!
GHWBush had a mistress...why didn't that get investigated?

Yes an allegation with no supporting evidence that must be brought up adnauseam.
that he failed to show up for a mandatory medical exam is a fact.
that they had recently began including drug testing as a part of the examination is a fact.
that Bush had a reputation as a heavy partier who admits to youthful indiscrestions is a fact.
that drug use was very common in party settings then is a fact.
that he failed to show up for a mandatory medical exam is a fact. And it has been explained over and over and over. You crackpots just can't accept it and eats you that you can't prove something else. You know why you can't prove anything else?It is because there is nothing else to be found. Get over it.
that drug use was very common in party settings then is a fact. That you and your ilk like to speculate and pass it off as fact is -well- uh - FACT.
really
her name is Jennifer Fitzgerald
mandatory medical exam...no show....fact.

So Bush couldn't pass a drug test, eh crabs?
Maybe he should have yanked a kid off the street, taken his/her urine, and presented that to beat the drug test.
You've stated in the past that you would have no problem with someone doing exactly that to beat a court ordered drug test.
Then, in your eyes, Bush would have done the proper thing in beating the test...correct?

Little kid is right -- "He hit me first!"
not at all...I'm just trying to honor his request to not talk to him, but he keeps talking to and about me.
I haven't hit anyone.
Just put him on ignore if he bothers you that much. Quit with the repetition. It's annoying.
he's the one repetivily trying to talk to someone who he doesn't want to talk to him.
I don't put anyone on ignore.
In case you haven't noticed, he's the one being annoying. He prides himself on it.
crabs in the role of the victim...again.
If you don't want to talk to me, then DON'T. Simple enough even for you. Is someone there forcing you to answer?

We get it, you want a King deciding law based on Religion.
what I get, crabs, is that you are a waste of time.
and you want a King to make Religious law
you are so out of touch with reality, crabs. you should get some help. or maybe you should just stop the drugs.
I'm not the one who advocates living by rules made by people who heard voices.
what drugs would those be?
the caffiene or the nicotine or what?
Once again crabs try's to justify his own illegal drug use with legal use by someone else...sad.
