Is the Senate fight over judicial appointments of
staunch conservatives really driven by abortion providers' desire to
make a financial profit?
This is the incredible claim made
here
by Manuel Miranda, the former GOP Senate staffer who has now resigned
in the face of evidence that he had accessed without permission
thousands of pages of Democratic Senate Judiciary Commitee staff
letters and memoranda. From the article: "'The abortion clinics' lobby
is an industry as large as any industry that lobbies in Washington and,
when combined with the single-mindedness of trial lawyers in trying to
obtain a particular kind of judge, the enormity of the money that is
behind the Democratic push is astounding and shocking,' he added." I
guess Miranda agrees with the Supreme Court majority in the
McConnell
case that large donors "call the tune" in Washington. I'd be interested
in seeing just how much abortion providers have been donating to
Democrats on the commiteee. My guess: not much.
