Again, I am trying to make it clear so we understand just exactly what it is that is being said Miguel Estrada has not disclosed. We talked about the documents in the Solicitor General's Office that he prepared as a career attorney. We talked about his failure to identify which was his favorite and least favorite Supreme Court case. And apparently--I was not at the hearing because I don't sit on the Judiciary Committee--he did not answer Senator Kennedy's questions about some current cases to the satisfaction of the Senators. Is there anything else that is holding him back? Again, the reason I am getting at this is because we are facing a remarkably unique circumstance here, the filibuster of a circuit court nomination on the basis of nondisclosure. I want to get out exactly what that nondisclosure is so we and the American public can understand that.
