Democrats vow not to take out anger on Roberts

Translation:

"We've talked about it and will if we can"

Why do I interpret the headline in that manner? Could it be because of this?

Judiciary Committee Democrats are seeking documents from Judge Roberts' time as deputy solicitor general, and Democratic aides said Mr. Bush has seen how united their party can be when they think the administration is stonewalling on information.

"There's little appetite in the Democratic caucus for further abuse of power by the president or stonewalling," said one aide, adding that the party will be even more insistent on information about a Supreme Court nominee than they were about Mr. Bolton.

Notice the partisan lies and spin. The president did not abuse any power. The administration was forthcoming with documents until the Democrats made it clear they were unconditionally opposed to Bolton and were on a fishing expedition for supporting evidence. The Democrats plan on further unprecedented requests to prevent the president from installing a highly qualified nominee to the Supreme Court who isn't a dyed-in-the-wool liberal.

More about duplicitous Dems -- who confuse their minority rantings with the will of the majority of the Senate -- in this article.
