Orrin Hatch: “Not any. In fact, even the Democrats who have known him have been praising him and have supported him. I might add that…”

“Not any. In fact, even the Democrats who have known him have been praising him and have supported him. I might add that I don't think you would get better support than Ron Klain. There should not be a Democrat on that side who doesn't believe he is an honest lawyer. There should not be a Democrat on that side who doesn't accept Seth Waxman as a great lawyer, or one who doesn't believe Walter Dellinger is an exceedingly fine law professor, lawyer, and practicing attorney. There should not be a Democrat who should disagree with the former African-American Solicitor General of the United States. I want to say this. I don't see any comparison with Rosemary Barkett at all. This man is not a judge. In accordance with the double standard, it has been said he should not be a judge because he has no judicial experience. We just have proven there are all kinds of Clinton judges who had no prior judicial experience. Yet we put them through and they are serving well, as have literally hundreds of judges who never had a day of judicial experience. It is just unfair, plain unfair.”
