Rudy To Unveil "Judicial Advisory Committee" To Convince Social/Legal Cons He's Serious About Strict Constructionism
I've blathered about Rudy's misstep on this issue a dozen times and so won't bother again. But this looks like a positive step:
Former U.S. solicitor general under President Bush, Ted Olson, will chair the panel. Former Bush administration Deputy Attorney General Larry Thompson and filibustered judicial nominee Miguel A. Estrada will be among the "who's who" of conservative legal and judicial advisers to Giuliani.
Meanwhile, Captain Ed notes the reasons Thompson is delaying his announcement. Here's the simplest one of all: He's winning by not announcing; why change a winning strategy?
Obviously he'll have to announce eventually, but one can hardly fault him for continuing to see how long his stealth offensive continues gaining ground.
Furthermore, look at McCain's millions, all pissed away, for nothing. Thompson joked that he had already saved fifty million dollars by delaying his announcement this long, but it's not really a joke, is it?
