Adopt A Box O’ Docs Part VI: Hatchet Job On Reagan

This box, though it contains forty-four pages, has absolutely nothing to do with Judge Roberts. Roberts’ name is never mentioned within it, and it, like the previous box, contains a great deal of history within it. Most of this is still centered around the White House/Byrd fight over recess appointments. The first eleven pages is a written article by Lawrence Walsh, the Acting Attorney General at the time regarding the power of the recess appointment, and the history surrounding it.
From page 12 through 15, we are treated to the rambling diatribe from Sen. Byrd who seems to be quite offended at the "impertinence" exhibited by Pres. Reagan over his recess appointments in the month of August in 1985. He has several things entered into the record, including several news editorials and stories regarding the recess appointments made by Reagan, and a letter he sent directly to the president specifically asking him to not make any such appointments in August.
Pages sixteen through forty are Lexis Nexis pages reporting on a series of New York Times editorials doing a simple, methodical hatchet job on Pres. Reagan over not only his recess appointments, but also his "refusal" to deal with anything connected to helping the poor and underprivileged in America. And, as usual, the Times cannot seem to stay on focus; they divert from their topics frequently to take a swipe here and there over this issue or that one.
It’s amazing that this box, which has 44 pages in it, is connected to Roberts when he’s never mentioned in it. When we first started pouring over this box last night, we expected to have a much longer post, just based on the pages in the box. But this is turning out to be our shortest post. And the best we can come up with is that the Democrats may try to pull something out of these records to hit him with during his hearing, such as whether or not he agrees that Pres. Reagan "abused" his powers during this time. This would not be a black eye to Roberts, but it would be one more attempt by the Democrats to give Pres. Reagan a black eye. If the Democrats decide to pull anything out of this box, they’d better think twice. Nothing here can hurt Roberts.
