Dawn Johnsen, Obama’s pick to lead the Office of Legal Counsel, has been seen around Washington the last few days, Talking Points Memo reported yesterday.
We previously reported that she has been waiting for a vote on her appointment for more than 90 days as Democrats have worked to coax reluctant Republicans into considering her nomination on the Senate floor. TPM said she might be “confident that she’s poised for a breakthrough.” After all, she is reportedly living in Washington now, according to TPM.

But a commenter on the post said she was in town for the American Constitution Society National Convention last weekend. Johnsen sits on the ACS national board and is a co-chair of the ACS issue group on separation of powers and federalism.
