No Manipulation in 'Memogate,' Says Civil Rights Commission Lawyer
(CNSNews.com) - The deputy general counsel for the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights has concluded there was "no delay or actual manipulation" of the Senate's judicial confirmation process pertaining to the "Memogate" controversy.
Deborah Carr said she found no evidence of wrongdoing by liberal interest groups who asked Democrat senators to delay or reject President Bush's judicial nominees.
"The parties that are mentioned are allowed by law to lobby, and based on the information that has been discussed and talked about, I believe there was no delay of a process or actual manipulation of a process that occurred," Carr said at Friday's commission meeting.
