Those of you who followed Grover’s link and read the transcript (or even better, heard the audio) of yesterday’s Supreme Court hearing may find the following quote entertaining (h/t Politico). The Source: White House Counsel Kathryn Ruemmler.
“Mr. Verrilli is an extraordinarily talented advocate who possesses a sharp mind, keen judgment, and unquestionable integrity. He ably and skillfully represented the United States before the Supreme Court yesterday, and we have every confidence that he will continue to do so.”
I know that this is a little outside of Ms Ruemmler’s portfolio, but I wonder if she could recommend a solar panel company that I might invest in? I’ve heard good things about this company named Solyndra.
He was so bad that as a human being I started to feel bad for him almost from the beginning despite wanting his cause to fail for the sake of the Republic.
Ah Grover, the man in the breast! I knew he was still there…somewhere.
I wonder why Neal Katyal didn’t get the permanent nod. This guy seems like a significant drop off after Kagan.
I prefer the opinion that his failure was the result of the weakness of the argument he was forced to make rather than one of his competency and professionalism. Said differently: he was lacking in the requisite quantity of lipstick for the pig that is the Affordable Care Act.
