Leahy Comes Around, Possibly Perhaps

By AndrewHyman Comments () / Email this page » / Leave a comment »

Maybe it was sincere, or maybe it was sarcastic, but on June 14 Senator Patrick Leahy of Vermont endorsed up-or-down votes for nominees who make it out of the Judiciary Committee to the Senate floor (such as for Tom Griffith). Here's what Leahy said:

I am glad to hear the distinguished leader say nominees deserve an up-or-down vote.

We'll see how long this sentiment lasts. If Leahy is sincere, then he ought to accept Senator Frist's compromise offer.

Incidentally, I've updated my earlier post about judicial activism.
