Exclusive: You Can’t Make This Stuff Up – The Judicial Nominee Edition » Publications » Family Security Matters: "By now, you’ve likely heard about the nomination of Scott M. Matheson, Jr. to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 10th Circuit. Judge Matheson is, according to the White House press release, “a distinguished candidate for the Tenth Circuit court,” whose “legal and academic credentials are impressive and his commitment to judicial integrity is unwavering.”
On the face of it, it sounds like a routine judicial nomination. No big deal, right?
Problem is, Matheson’s brother is Rep. Jim Matheson of Utah, who voted “no” on government health care. Rep. Matheson is also one of 10 legislators who voted “no” who was invited to the White House last night.
Is this an innocent coincidence? Considering the recent scandals that include the “Cornhusker Kickback” and the “Second Louisiana Purchase,” it’s easy to be skeptical.
The White House is denying any “quid pro quo” in the Matheson judicial nomination, citing an impressive ABA rating and support by one of Utah’s senators. Yet interestingly enough, Big Government claims that Judge Matheson “is hurdling a few career steps to become a judge.”"
