19. Did he check with the party leadership before he did those things?

Edited on Mon Mar-13-06 10:30 PM by htuttle

Did he check with party leadership before voting against dismissing the Lewinsky case in 1999 because "he didn't want to improperly shortcut the trial"? He didn't check with them before voting to confirm Ashcroft, either.

He votes and acts according to what he thinks is right. Period. He's consistent that way.

I haven't heard his reasons for not trying to build up support first (I missed the MTP interview), but I'm sure that whether or not I agree with those reasons, they'll be philosophically consistent with what he's said and done before.
