Senator Orrin Hatch, soon-to-be-Chair (again) of the Judiciary Committee, on the judicial nomination process, last night on CNBC:

The Democrats know that I'm fair. They know that I try to do what's right. They know that I'm not a vindictive person. I'm hopeful that they will work with me. I think most of them will. On the other hand, you know, let's face it, they don't want any judges who may be moderate to conservative on the bench -- or certainly conservative judges. My attitude is that's what we choose when we choose our president and as long as they nominate people who are qualified it's irrelevant what our personal, ideological beliefs are. But we're getting to the point that Democrats are insisting that every judge should be pro-choice or pro-abortion or they're not going to support them. Now that is ridiculous.

Hatch also said, "I think we probably will get at least one Supreme Court Justice this year to retire." Funny way to put it, but okay.



In other Supreme Court news, publishers are bidding on the rights to Justice Clarence Thomas' memoirs. The final deal is expected to be in the low seven figures. Thomas has already written about 100 pages, "mostly about his childhood in segregated Georgia."
