Peter G. Sheridan, whose nomination had been on hold, will now be named to a judicial slot in the U.S. District Court in either Trenton or Newark. Bush also was expected to name a Justice Department official and a U.S. magistrate in Newark to the bench in either Newark or Trenton, a source said on condition of anonymity.
Sens. Jon S. Corzine and Frank Lautenberg objected to Sheridan's nomination to the southern New Jersey post because he is from Mercer County. The two wanted a judge from the area to preside over court matters there.

The other two impending nominations are U.S. Magistrate Susan Wigenton, who sits in Newark, and Noel Hillman, who is chief of the Justice Department's Office of Public Integrity.
A federal judge in Utah has canceled his order requiring a top Justice Department official to testify why it is taking so long for the department to review records connected to the death of a prison inmate. U.S. District Judge Bruce Jenkins had set a July 13 date for Noel Hillman, chief of the department's public integrity section, to come to his courtroom and explain, under oath, the delay in deciding which documents can be released under the Freedom of Information Act. On Friday, he rescinded the order, noting that the official has said his review is complete. However, the judge warned that the reprieve is temporary and said the government ultimately will have to produce the records. Hillman had been determining which documents could be withheld. The records are being sought by Jesse Trentadue, the inmate's brother and a Salt Lake City attorney. He contends that Hillman began his review in 2001 and was taking too long.
Wow. I can smell Washington, Dirty City, from here.
You know what? They got more out of Berger than just a confession on this. They got a whole LOT more.
kc! Did you read the New York Times article?
ROFLMAO.........it's NOT Rove!
Do you think Sandy's spilling the beans to keep from going to prison and that's why they are delaying his sentencing?
Oh yeah, I think he's spilled a lot of beans. You don't get off on something that serious just because of who you used to be. You have to give something very valuable in return.
Do you think you and I will live long enough to find out what it is.........LOL.
I don't know. I think it's sort of like the GWOT. Some things we'll know about, some things we won't. The important thing is that the scum is being swept into the trashcan.
I hope you are right, but I get the nagging feeling that Sandy has heard of "Arkancide".
Other possibilities for the delay in sentencing are:
1. Sandy "spilled beans" that turned out to be lies.
2. The prosecutor has an aroma and the judge doesn't like the sentence (judge is honest).
3. The judge has been told to shut Sandy's mouth (judge has an aroma).
4. Somebody in the Bush Administration is in trouble and a "trade" is being discussed.

GRRRRRR. He stole them at Clintoons behest, for exactly that reason! The press knows it, the government knows it and the people know it. But like most things official, things need to be prioritzed and the DOJ spending too much time on Berger's criminal act, would have taken away from the resources needed to incarcerate Martha Stewart. After all, National Security isnt as important as money exchange laws..
bttt
What are you smoking?
Good one! (I forget the context, but I once heard the Swimmer bloviating on the radio about how there shouldn't be one law for the rich and powerful and one for the masses! Maybe he intends to fix this. Ha-ha.)
