-Caveat Lector-
A no-good conservative
"Here's today's political diversity quiz: When is an Hispanic-American
not really Hispanic?
"Answer: When he's one of President Bush's potential nominees to the
U.S. Supreme Court," the Wall Street Journal says.
"We're referring to 39-year-old Miguel Estrada, who immigrated from
Honduras at age 17, taught himself English, graduated from Harvard Law,
argued cases before the Supreme Court as a deputy in the U.S. Solicitor
General's office and is now a private attorney. Mr. Bush has nominated him
for a seat on the prestigious D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals," the newspaper
said in an editorial.
"This sounds like an American success story to us. But to some Hispanic
liberals, ideology is thicker than skin pigment. You see, Mr. Estrada is a
judicial conservative, which means he's the wrong kind of diversity hire."
Juan Figueroa, president of the Puerto Rican Legal Defense and Education
Fund, has denounced Mr. Estrada as one of those no-good conservative
Hispanics. He made his complaint in a letter to Sen. Patrick J. Leahy,
Vermont Democrat and chairman of the Judiciary Committee.
The Journal editorial page phoned Mr. Figueroa, who told them that Mr.
Estrada is a member of the conservative Federalist Society and "I don't think
Latinos have been generally known to be conservative."
The Journal commented: "So there it is. The only real Latino is a
liberal Latino."
