Angie Craig: “I want to also ask, was the Senator also aware that the Freeport Journal-Standard, the oldest news source in northwest…”

On the recordFebruary 26, 2003
I want to also ask, was the Senator also aware that the Freeport Journal-Standard, the oldest news source in northwest Illinois, has editorialized that this demand for Solicitor General memos would do serious damage to the ability of any member of the Justice Department to participate in its deliberative process, and that the same paper concluded Democrats are free to vote against him if they want, but vote they must; to do otherwise is an outrageous abuse of power. The question then: Was the Senator aware that this story had reached our heartland and that now newspapers all over America are reacting? And was he aware that they are speaking to this kind of injustice?
