Taking a look at these memos, there is no question that the Senate Democrats have been politicizing the judicial process. The memos speak of delaying nominations until after the election and after high profile cases had come to a head. That they were particularly worried about nominations being approved that could have impacted the Affirmative Action case at the U. of Michigan, displays that the Senators have little respect for the actual rule of law. There are also numerous references to doing what the special interests want (especially AFL-CIO, "civil rights leaders", and NARAL); something of which I'm sure both parties are frequently guilty.

Please read, and then express shock and awe.
