White House reporter John King at CNN says he is getting 'pushback' from those closely involved in the selection process that he 'should not go there' with Edith Jones Clement.
Update: Within the past hour staffers on the Senate Judiciary Committee have begun steering people away from her.

That would be the best part - seeing them try to spin why she's such a horrible choice now but they had no problem with her before.
However, Luttig was in court today, and (ahem) his wife and family were all there, too. Asked if this was "normal," the ABC reporter said, "no."
Smile when you say that.
He seemed to be in an extremely good mood during the press conference. :)
It's the moment we've all been waiting for...
Exactly...when I read that they were "steering " them off the story, my first thought was whether or not the DEMS are going to demand a special investigator.
On that point...
DId anyone hear Rush talking about Plame "outing' herself in 1999 by voting under her CIA "covert" name? Something about an article at the time about how this caused a CIA front to be compromised? Was this BEFORE or AFTER Novak's article?
Two words: The Terminator. ;)
Watching these boneheads try to guess what the Pres. is going to do is freaking hilarious!
You know the Ann rule, so where's the pic?
If Clement is suspect, those two liberals are definitely out :)
Luttig would be Bush's way of giving the finger to Leahy,Kennedy, Biden, etc.
It would be poetic justice to see the pair of them put through that.
LOL! Good point. :)
"My top 3 choices are Michael Savage, Janice-Rogers Brown and Mel Gibson"
"Are you nuts? What about Clint Eastwood?"
Wimps all ... We Want Beaufort Pusser!
Hand me a baseball bat.
Luttig would be *so* cool ... gird your loins if he is the choice because you can expect a firestorm from the left.
well, the GOP hasn't been able to beat them, so they should have at least have to squirm a little on this.
"Senator kohl, are you saying you didn't oppose a bad judge for federal appeals court merely because you wanted to change the balance of the wisconsin supreme court???"
I'm wondering about Federal Judge Diana Sykes of Chicago.
I think it's Corrigan. Bill Kristol predicted her, and he was the first one to report that O'Connor would be the first Justice to retire, before Rehnquist.
NOT BORK! ROVE!
I'm holding out for Captain Kangaroo of I'm leaving the party.
