Rhino?! Whatta talkin' about? Go back to sleep, Berenger.
I WOULDNT'T GO THERE [Kathryn Jean Lopez]
Today during a conference call with bloggers a little bit ago, Ken Mehlman highlighted his own membership in the Federalist Society as a student. Why bring that up in defense of Harriet Miers? If indications are she's not a fan of such "politically charged" groups (even as a political type in Texas).

K-Lo continues making ill-informed commentary about Miers. (Yes, I'm aware of her colleague posting on NRO's bench forum about Miers' supposed anti-Federalist attitude)
excerpt:
It's too soon to judge this nomination. But my guess is that in the end it is the liberals who will have the most misgivings about Miers.
I came to that conclusion after a breakfast interview -- by coincidence the morning of the president's announcement -- with Leonard Leo, who is on leave as executive vice president of the Federalist Society to work with the White House on judicial confirmation issues.
The Federalist Society, an organization of conservative lawyers, has been influential in staffing the Bush administration and recommending candidates for the federal bench. Leo came late to the breakfast from a conference call, in which he was attempting to quash the arguments other conservative leaders were making against Miers.
He spoke as one who has known and worked with her for well over a decade, who has played host to her when she has been a Federalist Society speaker, and -- perhaps most significant -- who joined her in a battle to get the American Bar Association to rescind its resolution endorsing Roe v. Wade , the decision establishing a right to abortion.

Saw that on NRO. If it's true, Mehlman isn't thinking clearly.
Maybe Ken (the name always makes me think of "Ken and Barbie") is hinting that HE'S the next choice if Miers doesn't make it. Or that he should be. Takes one of the criticisms of the Miers pick "off the table," doesn't it?
