On the recordFebruary 26, 2003
in North Carolina the Kinston Free Press and the Winston-Salem Journal have called on Democrats to stop this filibuster. Even a student writer for the University of North Carolina school paper took the time to write about it and criticize the filibuster. This obstructionism is being noticed and people are angry. On this question of the Solicitor General's memos, the Winston-Salem Journal wrote: ``Congress should not be asking for such material.'' Does the Senator from Utah agree with the journal that ``if Democrats have a substantive reason for opposing Estrada's nomination, it is past time to produce it. If not, they should let the Senate vote.'' Does the Senator agree?
