According to columnist Robert Novak, NARAL Pro-Choice America hired two operatives to obtain and probe the financial disclosure records of 30 appellate court judges viewed as possible Bush Supreme Court nominees.

Another chapter in the important book entitled "System of Checks and Balances." Too bad it has to be a spy novel. Not that it hasn't been in the past, but too bad whenever it is.
I always tried to play by the book, but I often had to accept losing the game. I am afraid many have lost their ability to accept defeat and are taking extreme measures. I just hope such measures remain at a minimum legal and humane. Digging up financial information?

This does seem extreme to me. Don't they have to go through FBI checks? Maybe they are hoping for something to turn up like it did in Bernie's case.

An all-out battle on blue-state-ers and media's home turf. But that field's warped--any constraint on sex or sexuality is right of the center line. Reasonable and open-minded, to a Dem, is abortion on demand and open-ended marriage without thought or vote. Everyone else is extreme.
