publicly made at the time. reason they are furious about the public revelation of the memos is because it shows the sleazy, outrageous activity of the democrats in the senate and on the senate judiciary committee to try and destroy the reputations and careers of nominees who are not progressives, who are constitutional originalists. keep in mind, that's what's going on here. as i've said before, progressivism and constitutionalism do not work together because the progressive model is to destroy the constitutional model. and for the left, the supreme court isn't a court it's a politiboro, why? woodrow wilson tells us why, one of the progressist intellects. he said we must control the courts and they shall control the future society. in effect, they must reright the constitution. that's what's going on here. the democrats don't mind a quote of three maybe four constitutionalists on the court, but that's it.
