Here’s how the Hartford Courant wrote up some remarks of his last week: “Lieberman offered reporters Wednesday three names he said could be considered without sparking a talk-athon. . . . He said federal appellate Judges Michael McConnell and John G. Roberts were ‘in the ballpark,’ and that ‘people tell me’ appeals court Judge J. Harvie Wilkinson is ‘very similar.’ Lieberman emphasized that should they be nominated, they would be carefully scrutinized.”
