Judicial Watch Earns Coverage in Major News Publications THE WASHINGTON TIMES, November 18, 2003 Re: Evidence Senator Kennedy attempted to fix University of Michigan's affirmative action case. "Senate Democratic staffers and a judge appointed by President Carter made extraordinary efforts last year to ensure that a liberal majority sat on the federal appeals court that heard the Michigan affirmative action cases, according to internal Democratic staff memos. 'The case was fixed,' Tom Fitton, president of the legal watchdog group Judicial Watch, said yesterday. 'It ought to be examined by the Ethics Committee.'" THE ASSOCIATED PRESS, October 25, 2003 Re: Judicial Watch's new lawsuit filed on behalf of Peter Paul against Hillary Clinton "A campaign fund run by then-candidate Hillary Clinton failed to report nearly $2 million in in-kind contributions from a Hollywood fund-raising event coinciding with the 2000 Democratic National Convention, alleges a lawsuit filed in Los Angeles County. Judicial Watch has dogged the Clintons during and since the president's term, and also filed the new lawsuit on Paul's behalf. 'He gave the money. Checks don't lie,' said Fitton, pointing to the dozens of checks and bank records included with Paul's FEC complaint." THE WASHINGTON POST, October 15, 2003 Re: Judicial Watch's lawsuit against senior USPS officials for failing to protect postal workers from anthrax "Postal employees from the Brentwood facility in Northeast Washington filed a $100 million class action lawsuit today against postal officials, saying they were needlessly subjected to risks during the anthrax crisis two years ago. 'If postal workers had been told the truth at the time . . . they could have taken steps to protect themselves, " he said. "Instead they were lied to and knowingly, we alleged, placed in harm's way.' Thomas J. Fitton, president of Judicial Watch, a public interest group that filed the suit on behalf of some 2,200 postal workers, said scores of employees are still suffering from the anthrax exposure and that other deaths could be linked to the problem." THE BOSTON GLOBE, October 2, 2003 Re: Judicial Watch's efforts to force Howard Dean to release documents he accumulated as Governor of Vermont "A conservative, Washington-based group formally requested yesterday that Democratic presidential contender Howard Dean release papers he had accumulated as governor of Vermont, nearly half of which have been under seal since he left office in January. In a letter to Dean, Thomas Fitton -- president of Judicial Watch, the group pushing for the document disclosure -- wrote, 'Failure on your part to provide full disclosure of your records as governor raises disturbing questions concerning accountability and transparency.'" THE WASHINGTON POST, September 17, 2003 Re: Judicial Watch's case against Vice President Cheney's Energy Task Force "Vice President Cheney will appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court to try to avoid being forced to produce information about his Energy Task Force to two public activist groups. The case began in 2001 when Judicial Watch, a conservative public interest group, sued to force Cheney's task force to tell the public how it operated and how industry groups helped shape Bush Administration energy policy."
