Brit Hume....just 5 minutes ago! said essentially the same thing!..
..He named one specifically, and said she had too much history/baggage that would have been held against her.

Not exactly the same thing. He said when they were vetting Batchelder (sp?), they found a lot of judicial activism. He didn't explain more fully, but he did say they were surprised.

You're right....he did say activism ...which I corrected in a later post.

I saw it live, and Brit was pointedly talking to Kristol, and the word 'activism' was the effect of a bullet, IMO...to Kristol.

His point to Kristol, is that this one speicifically ...and I thought he inferred....to others, they would not have sustained the vetting process.

....Regardless, I know Brit specifically mentioned this one woman, and it took Kristol by surprise, and Brit inferred that this is the woman Kristol wanted on the court.....and she simply could not have survived vetting.

Saw that Batchelter on a c-span program. She didn't dazzle with her footwork on the Q&A part. What dog did PD have in the 27-24 fight Sat??
