Paul Mirengoff says:
President Bush has nominated former Rep. James Rogan to be a district judge in California (central district). Rogan was one of the House floor managers during the Senate impeachment trial of President Clinton....It's quite rare for district court nominees to face serious resistance but it's also quite rare to have an impeached president's wife in the Senate.
And rare for a GOP Chairman of the Judiciary Committee to block multiple nominees of a GOP President.
Excellent nomination, although really Rogan should be destined for higher things that district judge.
