Naming of Allies
Reader comment on item: On Being Borked

Submitted by thomas lane anderson (United States), Aug 26, 2003 at 17:45

When naming your predecessors and supporters in the context of your own recent
Congressional persecution I find it incongruous at best to see Bork and Schumer mentioned on your behalf or support.
Can there be any doubt that if Schumer had been around during the Bork hearings, he would have cheerfully been counted as a bosom ally with one of your lead prosecutors, Mr. Kennedy?
