Alum campaigns to confirm judicial nominees

By Dan Duray | October 27, 2005

Wendy Long '82, legal counsel of the Judicial Confirmation Network, was on the front lines of the fight to confirm Chief Justice John Roberts, but she's not weighing in on Harriet Miers' nomination for the Supreme Court. Miers, who was expected to submit more complete information about her legal views to senators Wednesday, has sparked criticism for her lack of experience. "Harriet is still a question mark and we haven't been able to flesh that out and resolve it yet," Long said in an interview with The Dartmouth. Although the JCN has neither supported nor condemned Bush's second Supreme Court pick, Long believes the more time that passes without supplemental information about Miers, the less likely it is that she will be confirmed. "Hypothetically with a judicial nominee who hasn't been a judge, there are other potential ways to see how they've acted as an academic, if they've written law review articles, but unfortunately she doesn't have a body of legal writings we can consult," she said.
