Law - "Wall Street Journal, N.Y. Times Face Off Over Dawn Johnsen Nomination"

Ryan J. Reilly has a report today in Main Justice, complete with quotes from the dueling editorials, that begins:

Ahead of today’s scheduled Senate Judiciary Committee vote on Dawn Johnsen, President Obama’s nominee to be the Justice Department’s Office of Legal Counsel, opposing editorials ran this morning in the two of the nation’s top newspapers.

The New York Times wrote that Johnsen, who has been awaiting a vote for more than a year, should be confirmed swiftly. The Wall Street Journal, however, said that “at this point it would serve the best interests of all parties to cut Ms. Johnsen loose.”
