This is freshly breaking speculation/news in Utah. Apparently Hatch is being considered for the AG slot replacing Ashcroft. Former Utah governor (and current head of the EPA) Mike Leavitt would be the odds-on favorite to replace Hatch in the Senate. If true, it might have an impact on the Specter/Judiciary Committee controversy.

If Hatch is out of the Senate and off the Judiciary Committee, Frist will have a great opportunity to put a solid conservative on the Judiciary Committe in his place.

He's not a lawyer or a prosecutor. Judiciary is not enough qualification. Besides, he sponsored the Dream Act with fat Ted my senator. Put somebody who will enforce the laws at Justice.

I think Orrin should pursue his singing career.

Or perhaps he could join the tech industry and help develop the technology to destroy your computer if it contains anything the RIAA doesn't think you ought to have.

Hatch is a lawyer, but he has no experience as a prosecutor.

I'm more intrigued with the possibility that his leaving would give Frist and the Senate leadership a chance to increase conservative clout on the Senate Juduciary Committee. I'm more concerned with getting two or three solidly conservative SCOTUS justices onto the bench than I am with what happens in the USDOJ over the next four years.

Hatch has no backbone and let a republican aide be fired in the Democrats memo-gate controversy. If Hatch can't be trusted to stand by the aide who was wrongfully terminated than how could we trust him as the AG? Pissant you described Hatch to a T and eartworms have more backbone than this klown. NSNR

I saw Sen. Hatch being interviewed on CNN two weeks ago. He was actually wearing a turtleneck with a huge Cricket Phone logo on the collar, as if it was part of an endorsement deal. Did anyone else catch that?
