Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid says he will block the nomination of Ted Olson if the President selects him as Attorney General, Reuters is reporting:
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid vowed on Wednesday to block former Solicitor General Theodore Olson from becoming attorney general if President George W. Bush nominates him to replace Alberto Gonzales.
Read it all at the link above. Reid labels Olson “partisan” as an excuse for opposing him. Olson, of course, lost his wife Barbara in the 9/11 attack on the Pentagon. It will be interesting to see if this is just more of Reid’s loudmouthed bluster with nothing to back it up.
