EPPC President
Edward Whelan, the director of the program on
The Constitution, the Courts, and the Culture, is a leading contributor to
Bench Memos, National Review Online's award-winning blog on judicial nominations and constitutional law. You can read a list of all of his postings
here.
Here is some of the praise Mr. Whelan has received for his blogging:
From Steve Schmidt, who, as special adviser to President Bush, led the White House's efforts to confirm the Supreme Court nominations of John Roberts and Samuel Alito: "Ed Whelan was the most influential and valuable commentator on the nominations of Chief Justice Roberts and Justice Alito. His remarkably rapid, thorough, and reliable responses to the distorted attacks on the nominees prevented those attacks from gaining traction. The White House was deeply grateful that he was on our side."
From Paul Mirengoff of the influential Power Line blog: "Blogs like NRO’s Bench Memos … enable legal super-stars like Ed Whelan to shoot down bad arguments against nominees within hours."
