Harry Reid: “I say to my friend that the Federalist Society, as we know, is not mainstream dealing with judicial issues, but extreme…”

“I say to my friend that the Federalist Society, as we know, is not mainstream dealing with judicial issues, but extreme, and indicate that may be the case. One of the lead speakers, of course, is Mr. Bork. To even compound the political nature of the operation, Attorney General William Pryor of Alabama is speaking there. For everyone within the sound of my voice, it sounds to me rather unusual that someone who has the nomination and is trying to get confirmed to be a member of a very high Federal court--I cannot imagine it would be appropriate for that person to appear at an organization that is not in the mainstream, but extreme. So what we have here, even by Senator Frist's standards, looking at his Web site, we have the facts as I have indicated previously.”
