John McCormack of The Weekly Standard reported yesterday:

Tonight, Barack Obama will host ten House Democrats who voted against the health care bill in November at the White House; he’s obviously trying to persuade them to switch their votes to yes. One of the ten is Jim Matheson of Utah. The White House just sent out a press release announcing that today President Obama nominated Matheson’s brother Scott M. Matheson, Jr. to the United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit.”

First it was the “Louisiana Purchase.” Then, the “Cornhusker Kickback.”  Is the president now trading federal judgeship’s for health care votes?  Read McCormack’s entire piece, then you decide.
