Such as? Did his client pay him for his time? For example my point is that a criminal defense attorney does not necessarily believe in the innocence of his client nor does he necessarily believe that crimes should not be defined by the legislature?

Yes, but he also choose to work for Rhenquist, Bush and Reagan. And has an entire career working for conservative cases. It is impossible for me to believe a liberal lawyer would spend his career arguing in court to overturn Roe v. Wade and fighting for other conservative causes.. I am often skeptical, but I think in this case it is completely uncalled for. It would be nice if he had more bench history to judge him on, but the political reality is that is what makes him confirmable.

Ok, good point. This President's judgment has been sound, and he certainly has earned my trust.
