Yesterday evening, John McCormack from The Weekly Standard ran a story on President Barack Obama nominating Scott Matheson, Jr., to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 10th Circuit. Matheson’s brother is Jim Matheson, a Member of Congress from Utah. Rep. Matheson opposed ObamaCare on the first go around and is undecided on how he’d vote when or if it comes up again. The President needs every single vote that can be mustered.
