Kmiec on himself

Douglas Kmiec, dean of Catholic University of America's School of Law and possible Bush nominee to the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals, has penned an article in the Wall Street Journal on the attempt of some to prevent him from attaining that position.

Kmiec argues that essentially, those opposed to his judgeship do so because of his morals and his religion, and that such criteria are neither appropriate nor the best means to determine one's ability to serve as a federal appellate judge.

Good column.
