Kevin O'Connor's infamy in Connecticut stems from his prosecution of a civil liberties case against librarians in a case defending the Patriot Act.
In the end, he lost, because judges decided that the case voided the Constitutional rights of the librarians. So O'Connor decided to appeal. And lost again.
A bit further down the road, it appeared that the FBI was issuing security letters like junk mail in pursuit of boogeymen in trumped-up Patriot Act cases.
Today, the Hartford Courant, in another hard-to-fathom endorsement by their editorial board, is asking the Senate to confirm O'Connor for a high-ranking position in the Bush justice department.
Let's see, that's endorsements of George Bush (twice), John Rowland (several times), Creepy Joe™ Lieberman (often), Hillary Clinton (for today's vote), and now Kevin O'Connor. What next, an endorsement for Bill Belichick as NFL coach of the year?

Actually... Bill Belichick did win coach of the year... (= A perfect regular season record will net that kind of result.
