Griffith caught up in bigger battle
Although BYU general counsel Tom Griffith's nomination to the D.C. Circuit finally got past the Senate Judiciary Committee, he is now caught up in the larger battle over judicial nominations, the Deseret Morning News said yesterday. Today's New York Times provides the latest details on the partisan clash over judges.
I have found it interesting to note the extent to which Latter-day Saints are playing a prominent role in this judicial fight. Besides Griffith, two other Mormons are highly involved, and they have been at each other's throats. Democratic Senator Harry Reid of Nevada and Republican Senator Orrin Hatch of Utah have not been very Christlike in their criticisms of each other. But maybe in politics the Golden Rule does not apply?
