That’s the title of my new Confirmation Tales post, which reports a remarkable incident that had never been made public before:
If it sounds amazingly stupid now, I also found it amazingly stupid back then: In the immediate aftermath of the Harriet Miers debacle, a powerful pro-life group tried to block George W. Bush from nominating Samuel Alito to the Supreme Court.
In consultation with key White House officials and an important senator, I’m pleased to have helped to thwart the group’s terribly misguided effort.
If you prefer, listen to the audio version embedded in the post. And please sign up for Confirmation Tales.
