“We are here talking about one of the finest nominees to come before the Senate, Miguel Estrada, for the Circuit Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit. Miguel Estrada is a stunningly qualified person. He came here at age 17 from Honduras, top of his class at Columbia, magna cum laude, Phi Beta Kappa, on to Harvard Law, editor of the Harvard Law Review, clerk for a Second Circuit Court of Appeals, the sister court to the DC court he would be sitting on. He served in the Solicitor General's Office of the Justice Department where he wrote appellate briefs and argued cases before the United States Supreme Court. He has been at one of America's greatest law firms since. He received the highest possible ratings of his supervisors in the Department of Justice almost his entire time. In the Department of Justice he was being supervised by President Clinton's supervisors.”
