The two talked about Stewart, who is Leavitt's chiefof staff. “[Clinton] was upset by the thing with Ronnie White, He wanted little time to pass,” Leavitt said Tuesday. “He wants to demonstrate his displeasure with the Ronnie White situation. He had strong feelings about it.” But Leavitt, who chairs the National Governors’ Association, said hestill believes Stewart will becomea judge. “It's yet, another chapter in the wrangling” between the White House and Senate over judicial nominations, the governor said. “Ted, unfortunately, got caught in the middie.” White House spokeswoman Elizabeth Newman denied that Clinton's displeasure with the Sen- ate overits rejection of White was affecting Stewart “There's nothing unusual going on with Stewart's commission,” she said Tuesday. “Wedon't think the process of confirming judges should be a political process, and we won't makeit one, .
