More on Pickering

Mac Diva has a comprehensive report on unqualified Bush judicial nominee Charles Pickering.

The New York Times also has a new article on Pickering, one which omits much of the damning evidence against Pickering. Inexplicably, the "liberal" Times fails to mention that Pickering had full knowledge of Branch's misconduct at the time he approved Branch's plea deal, and that he misrepresented those facts to the Senate Judiciary Committee. (Those facts are discussed in the Washington Post article linked below.)

Pickering, who was defeated previously and then renominated by the Bush/Ashcroft cabal after last November's elections, will appear before the Judiciary Committee in June.
