I was so hoping that CNN was going to be right. Edith Brown Clement is one of the few Judges on the short list with whom I had some interaction with in my last job (E. Clement, E. Jones, E. Garza — weird all E’s). I would have loved to dish some dirt….but it doesn’t look like that will happen. Something tells me the Court isn’t going to get any better with this nomination anyway.
