Matt Margolis describes the call:

The blogger conference call with Ken Mehlman on the nomination of Judge Alito just ended… It went very well… Bloggers were greeted by RNC eCampaign director Patrick Ruffini, who explained that conference calls such as this one was part of their effort to engage the blogopshere in the nomination process. RNC Chairman Ken Mehlman came on shortly after and told us he appreciated the work bloggers were doing. On Alito, he explained that this is the most experienced nominee we’ve seen in 70 years, and that his character and philosphy is consistent with what the president said it should be, that judges should interpret the law, not make law…

He also warned us to expected partisan attacks… which I’m sure all of us anticipated anyway. He said to remember what happened with Judge Roberts, and how his membership in the Federalist Society was scrutinized, and the New York Times intention to look into the adoption records of Roberts’ children.
