		The Senate vote last week to confirm Theodore B. Olson as solicitor general by a razor-thin margin had everything to do with politics and little to do with the strength of the Democrats' case in opposing the nominee, according to key senators and congressional staff.
		the solicitor general is expected to come forward with both the strengths and weaknesses of the case, to inform the Court of things it might not otherwise know, and to be honest in all his dealings with the Court.
		Even long before the contentious fight over Olson's nomination as solicitor general, many Democratic senators were exercised over what they considered to be a heavy-handed attempt by Senate Judiciary Committee chairman Orrin Hatch to further restrict their role in the selection of federal judicial nominees.
