Yesterday I was surprised by the LA Times’ editorial on John Roberts. Today, The Washington Post does the surprising:
This country has only one president at a time. That president, right now President Bush, is tasked with naming judges. The Senate has the role of providing advice and consent on the president’s choices, which is a significant constitutional task. But if the presidential election means anything in this arena, it must mean that the president’s choice has a heavy presumption of confirmation. That is the way the system works.
I’d like to think these are evidence of their sincere feelings rather than a reaction to the difficulties being experienced by The New York Times.
