So, Half-Truth Harry, you are now going to make unsubstantiated charges based upon evidence no one is allowed to see – and against which your victim, a sitting state judge, cannot respond?

Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid prompted outrage from Republicans on Thursday, when he criticized one of those stalled judicial nominees on the Senate floor.

"Henry Saad would have been filibustered anyway," Reid said. "He's one of those nominees. All you need to do is have a member go upstairs and look at his confidential report from the F.B.I., and I think we would all agree there is a problem there."

DoesnÂ’t such an accusation of wrong-doing like that constitute a threat to the independence of the judiciary? Why donÂ’t you grow a pair and actually make the charge you hinting at? Could it be that doing so would be a violation of the ethics rules and a misuse of the FBI report? And doesnÂ’t making the charge in this manner constitute exactly the same sort of violation? Especially since, under Senate rules, the only Senators with access to that confidential FBI report are members of the Judiciary Committee and the nomineeÂ’s home state senators. Who gave you access to that confidential material?

Resign now – from the Senate, not just your leadership position.

And Senate Republicans, if he does not, you need to file ethics charges and drive him out of the Senate.

Harry Reid Delenda Est -- Half-Truth Harry must be destroyed!
