Hearty congratulations to White House "ethics czar" Norm Eisen,
who today received a a
recess appointment to be U.S. ambassador to the Czech
Republic. His nomination had been the subject of a longstanding
hold by Senator Grassley, and I recently
speculated that a recess appointment could be in the
works. This appointment will last only
one year unless the Senate confirms him for the post.
I would write more, but I have a shaky Internet connection up in
Mammoth right now. Way to go, Norm!
A federal district court has rejected
Joe Miller's remaining
federal claims, as I expected.
Miller: "My legal team believes that the clear language of the
Election Clause as well as precedent support our claims. Thus,
we are evaluating the ruling and determining what our next step
should be."
