How soon we forget!I'm just about sick of hearing from Democrats that Republicans could care less about blacks, hispanics, or other races in the US.
Let's get this straight:
George W. Bush nominated Estrada to a position on the United States Court of Appeals for the D.C.Circuit on May 9, 2001.; the court is very influential, and is widely seen as a stepping stone to the Supreme Court.
The following is a statement from a Hispanic Women from CWA (Concerned Women for America). "That much is clear when you remember the abuses committed by Democratic senators against Miguel Estrada, the first Hispanic nominated to the United States Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit. As you'll recall, unable to block Estrada's nomination in the Senate Judiciary Committee and knowing he would be confirmed if a full Senate vote was allowed, Democrats used an unprecedented and unjust partisan filibuster to prevent a vote from ever taking place." OH MY!!!! NOW WHAT DO YOU THINK THE DEMOCRATS WOULD BE SAYING ABOUT THE REPUBLICANS IF THEY FILIBUSTERED SOTOMAYER'S APPOINTMENT? Oh the bigotry of the democratic party!
Estrada received a unanimous "well-qualified" rating from the American Bar Association. Democratic Senators opposed the nomination, noting Estrada's lack of any prior judicial experience at the local, state, or federal level. Democratic Senators also objected to the refusal by the Office of the Solicitor General to release samples of Estrada's writings while employed there. Republicans, however, stated that the Democratic concerns were actually just an attempt to deny Estrada a circuit court seat because of his conservatism.
I find it hysterically funny that the Democrats love, love Hispanics but did every thing in their power to stop Estrada....Wonder why? WHAT? Republicans nominating a Hispanic who would for sure move on to be the 1st Hispanic on the US Supreme Court. NEVER...the Democrats could never let that happen.... how WOULD that look to their smear campaign...that "The Republican Party is just a good ole' white boy party". Eat it up liberals...we have you number!

Bush had his way corrupting the justice department with his other crony... I'd say the Dem Senators got it just about right with Estrada-based on his lack of qualification
once again ....bullshit, the dems purposely filibustered his appointment, they knew it would lead to him being the first hispanic on the supreme court... oh my that would soooooo not look good.
