Controversial Bush Nominees Withdraw From Consideration

Following the lead of former nominee Michael Wallace, three of President Bush's most controversial judicial nominees have asked to have their nominations withdrawn.  They include Defense Department General Counsel William Haynes, an architect of the Administration's torture policy, former Senator Jesse Helms (R-NC) aide Judge Terrence Boyle, and lobbyist William Myers.

As ACSBlog reported, an editorial in the conservative Washington Times recently called upon President Bush to replace controversial nominees with more moderate attorneys who would be acceptable to both parties.
