Judicial Selection After Trent Lott
The New York Times is thinking a step ahead today in its editorial Judicial Selection After Trent Lott:
"Now that Trent Lott has reminded the nation that ugly, antiquated racial attitudes still exist in this country, even in the highest ranks of government, the Bush administration needs to pay even more attention to civil rights concerns regarding several of its judicial nominees. It seems clearer than ever that the White House and the Senate should conduct a more rigorous review of current and future judicial nominees' records on race, and disqualify any whose commitment to equal rights is at all in doubt."
