On the recordFebruary 27, 2003
The final paragraph of this short but powerful editorial, does the Senator from New Jersey agree with this: The Senate Democratic leader, Tom Daschle, insists that the Senate be given the information it needs to evaluate Mr. Estrada. He says there cannot be a vote until senators are given access to Mr. Estrada's memorandums and until they get answers to their questions. The White House can call this politics or obstruction. But in fact it is Senators doing their jobs. Would the Senator agree with this statement?
