Punishing a lawyer for his clients (continued)

By John Elwood

ADVERTISEMENTS

An interesting post by Ed Whelan at Bench Memos. Ed states:

According to reliable sources, the White House had settled on [Sri] Srinivasan to fill one of the two vacancies on the D.C. Circuit. (Both of the vacancies predate President Obama?s inauguration; indeed, the older one is the seat John Roberts vacated in 2005 to become Chief Justice.) But the Left then went after Srinivasan, in part because of union animosity to his corporate clients in private practice, in part because, in his former capacity as an assistant to the Solicitor General, Srinivasan advocated the positions of the Bush administration on war-on-terror detainee issues. And the prospect of Srinivasan?s getting the nomination now appears to be dead.

If so, this is truly regrettable. I had the privilege of working with Sri in the Solicitor General?s Office, and he is profoundly decent, smart as hell, and a straight shooter. He would have been a credit to the bench. Maybe he will be yet.
