PFAW, NARAL, others meet in Senate

December 6, 2005

As reported here, liberal outside interest groups held an anti-Alito jamboree in the Senate office buildings last Friday. The Washington Prowler at American Spectator confirms that the room was indeed reserved for the groups by Minority Leader Harry Reid.

The Prowler also notes the presence of Democratic staff in the meeting, including staff from Senators Durbin, Kennedy and Biden.

More from the Washington Prowler:

According to Democratic leadership sources, Sen. Harry Reid was pressed in meetings and conference calls last week to allow his party and his caucus to go on the offensive against Alito. "Not just push back, we really want the knives to come out," says a leadership staffer. "The leader has been holding us back now for close to a month, and our caucus is getting itchy."

After the latest set of documents was released, Reid relented but asked that Senators and their staffs work closely and coordinate with groups such as People for the American Way and NARAL for what Reid termed "the dirty work," according to Democratic staff who were briefed on the conversations.

"The third party groups have the money and the ability to go after Alito and beat him up pretty bad if they have the ammunition, and that is the goal. We want Alito -- in the minds of the American public -- to be the second coming of Judge Bork. That's the goal," says another Democratic Senate staffer.
