| Legal scholars troubled over Democrats’ memo |
| 2004-03-21 |
| EFL and Fair Use By Charles Hurt THE WASHINGTON TIMES As the dust settles in the Judiciary Committee fuss over Republican snooping into Democrats’ memos, several legal scholars said yesterday they were shocked by a memo showing staffers in Sen. Edward M. Kennedy’s office plotting to manipulate one of the most significant court cases in recent years. "My jaw dropped when I heard that one," said Ronald D. Rotunda, a law professor at George Mason University. "It’s very troubling." Nothing is beneath the politicians - especially those who posture and preen and present themselves as the bastion of moral infallibility. Read the rest. |

| #6 Someone: I would say that Frank G is right. Thanks to the Federalist Society, the legal academy at least presents both sides of the story (even though the faculties are overwhelmingly lefty). |

| #5 Frank G: the fact that by legal academic standards Sunstein is a centrist moderate tells you what we're up against here. |

| #4 Sunstein is a bitter Dem partisan of the first rank. Remember his outrage and histrionics during the perjury over knobbers impeachment? Asking him to comment is like asking Hillary |

| #3 I'm sure Sunstein would've had the same reaction to the Pentagon Papers. |

| #2 I don't want to comment on stolen materials," Mr. Sunstein said. "Even if there is something bad in there, it would be improper of me — and possibly of you — to comment on them. By all means, do let us keep quiet about the senate socialists' slip showing. (Say that ten times real fast.) And allow me to remind you of that assinine statement the next time embarssing information about a republican is leaked and published. I guess if I had devised a strategy of questionable constitution means and motives I would want to kill discussion about them, too. |
