Self-professed liberal Democrat Alan Dershowitz made this compelling case for Ambassador Bolton in the Washington Times back in January. This should not be about politics. Bolton is a great UN ambassador in the unapologetically pro-American, pro-Democracy, pro-decency tradition Daniel Patrick Moynihan brought to that position. Wholly apart from the preference to let the President have the pick of his choice, there is no good reason on substance to oppose this guy. It would be irresponsible, and a terrible start for the Democrats, not to confirm him.
