Matheson nomination to the 10th Circuit advances with help of Hatch, criticism of Kyl

Edited on Thu Jun-10-10 08:53 PM by usregimechange

Scott M. Matheson, Jr
Nominee for the United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit
57 years old

"Without a recorded vote, the committee also advanced the nomination of University of Utah Law Professor Scott Matheson for the 10th Circuit. Kyl, the Senate�s No. 2 Republican, criticized a book Matheson wrote last year on executive power, calling the book a �screed� against President George W. Bush, but Kyl did not hold up the nomination."

The book Kyl criticized:

In the book Matheson suggests a balance between liberty and security needs. Kyl much prefers to give the President the tools of tyranny to protect the country in the short term whilst destroying it in the long term.
