CORNYN: No gavel for Obama's pay-for-play appointee - Washington Times: "The Constitution clearly delineates the power of “advice and consent” on judicial nominations to the U.S. Senate alone. Moreover, “advice and consent” means more than a rubber-stamp of the president’s nominees. It means we, as senators, have a constitutional responsibility to ensure that the nation gets the very best candidates for these appointments. Typically, those nominated are of the highest caliber, practitioners and scholars characterized by distinguished careers marked with unmistakable professional integrity.
Unfortunately, Jack McConnell does not fit this bill. Nominated to the U.S. District Court in Rhode Island, Mr. McConnell throughout his career has tended toward perverting the rule of law, rather than upholding it. A close look at Mr. McConnell’s 25-year legal career reveals a record surrounded by an ethical cloud."
