It will be fun over the next few weeks to watch another round of judge bashing. You just never know which side will have the most temper tantrums. I appreciate more information on important subjects like this, don't you?
The following is a good example of what can be found online:
"That statement by Quin doesn’t lower the level of concern about Judge Clement. Today, Quin wrote at http://www.confirmthem.com/?p=750#comments as follows:
IMPORTANT: I am becoming more and more comfortable with Joy Clement as a potential replacement for O’Connor. I’ve done some digging. Nothing flamboyant there, but just a good, solid jurist….Probably the most impressive thing about her record is this: As a district court judge, out of more than 1,300 opinions she authored, only 17 were reversed, partially reversed, vacated or even remanded….As a nominee, she won’t make conservative hearts go pitter-pat like, say, Clarence Thomas did. But she is indeed worthy of the highest court in the land."
