During the Clinton administration, the Free Congress Foundation was quite vocal in the fight by conservatives against his judicial nominees. The leaders of its Center for Law and Democracy, Thomas Jipping and John Nowacki, fired out regular commentaries eagerly reprinted by the ConWeb. But the foundation has been mostly quiet on the subject of late, and Jipping and Nowacki are nowhere to be found, having moved on from the center.
Why? Perhaps because the previous arguments they made would come back to haunt them.
As ConWebWatch has previously noted, they complained when Clinton was president that there wasn't nearly enough obstruction of judicial nominees, then complained that Democrats were not moving fast enough Bush from filling the judicial seats they fought to keep Clinton from filling.
A closer look at Clinton-era commentaries by Jipping and Nowacki shows that some of the arguments they make against Clinton nominees undermine arguments currently being made by conservatives in support of nominees of President Bush that Democrats have blocked. They can't be found on the Free Congress Foundation site anymore, but they are conveniently archived at CNSNews.com.<snip> http://conwebwatch.tripod.com/stories/2005/judgesthennow.html
