Third Branch Conference Responds to the Left's Distortions

Statement of the Third Branch Conference:

"The Left has taken to attack Judge Alito by distorting the facts of a case involving the probable cause strip search of a child in the course of a police action in a drug raid case, where children are misused by adults every day.

This abuse of a neuralgic and very graphic event to attack Judge Alito comes from the same people who defend child pornography, simulated child pornography, and oppose library bans on child pornography. They would do better to first remove the speck from their own eye, or in their twisted case, remove the offending eye altogether."

- Manuel Miranda, former nominations counsel to Leader Frist and to the Senate Judiciary Committee, is chairman of the TBC, a coalition of over 150 grasstop leaders.
