The Democrats’ marching orders

The Washington Times has obtained 14 internal Democratic staff memos reflecting instructions and the related rationale to block President Bush’s appellate court appointments: “Memos of special interest on Hill.”
In one memo to Sen. Richard Durbin of Illinois, for example, Miguel Estrada is singled out as “especially dangerous” because “he is Latino.” But then, didn’t we already know that? What a bloody outrage.
Yesterday’s Wall Street Journal first reported on these memos in an editorial that OpinionJournal has just made available online: “He is Latino.”
