Durbin statements show double standard

Dear Sen. Durbin: I noticed that you felt Republicans put Loretta Lynch on the "back of the bus." Seems to me you did not vote for Condoleezza Rice--- are you a racist?

How about your opposition to Mr. Estrada, a U.S. Court of Appeals nominee, labeling him as "especially dangerous" because he has a minimal paper trail. Did you know that Mr. Estrada was rated "well qualified " by the American Bar Association?

I could go on, but I think you get the point. Have you and your party ever thrown conservative blacks and Hispanics under the bus? A bunch!
