Where is the oped saying that Luttig should be the nominee?
I am in agreement with you. He wrote up glowing praise for Roberts, and when called on it, claimed he was for his former boss Luttig. He said the same to JEB during one of the first debates. Cruz blamed W for the Roberts nomination, and JEB said that Cruz had agreed with the nomination. Cruz then states that he wanted Luttig all along. Where is the evidence to support his Luttig claim?
But, as a jurist, Judge Roberts’s approach will be that of his entire career: carefully, faithfully applying the Constitution and legal precedent.
He is a mainstream judge, respected across the ideological spectrum. Thus, he’s earned praise from liberal icons such as Harvard Law Professor Larry Tribe, and Chicago Law Professor Cass Sunstein, as well as from Clinton Solicitors General Walter Dellinger and Seth Waxman, and Carter and Clinton Counsel Lloyd Cutler, the latter two of whom both described Roberts as a man of “unquestioned integrity and fair-mindedness.”
