POLITICO -- The White House is coming to the defense of Solicitor General Donald Verrilli Jr., whose performance before the Supreme Court Tuesday has been widely panned.
"Mr. Verrilli is an extraordinarily talented advocate who possesses a sharp mind, keen judgment and unquestionable integrity," White House Counsel Kathryn Ruemmler said Wednesday morning. "He ably and skillfully represented the United States before the Supreme Court yesterday, and we have every confidence that he will continue to do so."
