We’ve moved from Rosenstein to Rosen. The next guy/girl will be Rose.

“I sure hope this guy doesn’t turn out to be yet another DOJ/FIB Weasel.”

Rosen is a career Washington lawyer. He served in the Bush administration.

I’d like to see Republicans in the US Senate when they have control to deny a Democrat President of anyone that President wants working for them.

Well now, that is so...comforting. /s

Still want to hear what Levin and others think of him.

Barr would have likely needed to sign off on him and thus far his judgment has been impeccable.

Democrats: “What? Another Jewish appointee? Trump’s obviously a Nazi-loving fascist who’s hiding his prejudice against Jews by appointing them to high positions in his administration.”

“...along party lines...”

There does seem to be a pattern here, no?

It appears President Trump could nominate Merrick Garland to the SCOTUS, and every Senate Democrat would vote against him, after thoroughly sullying his family name.

I was thinking the same thing. I had to keep re-reading the article to verify it was not a mistake.

So did Barr. Barr is a man of integrity and lives the constitution. Give me a dozen of him
