This time it was to assess the suitability of Tony West, Obama&#8217;s nominee for the assistant attorney general in charge of the U.S. Justice Department&#8217;s Civil Division. Things went &#8220;smoothly&#8221; according to the San Jose Mercury News, also publishing a nice bio of West. The Washington Post merely mentioned the hearing was &#8220;notable.&#8221; Similarly the East Bay Express simply makes mention of the hearing having occurred. Apparently there was nothing of interest in West’s nomination.]]>Sat, 14 Mar 2009 04:41:41 -0400<![CDATA[Warner Todd Huston]]>https://redstate.com/warner_todd_huston/2009/03/14/obamas-nominee-to-justice-dept-was-a-terrorists-lawyer-n42891
