"Don't Delay Over Judges"

"Don't Delay Over Judges": In this week's issue of Legal Times, Doug Kendall, president of the Constitutional Accountability Center, has an op-ed that begins, "No presidential administration in history has been better positioned to get top-flight judges onto the federal bench. With a president and vice president who are both experts in constitutional law, an already distinguished team of legal advisers, and a highly favorable environment on Capitol Hill, this should be, in the immortal words of George Tenet, a 'slam dunk' for the Obama administration. But potential pitfalls still abound on an issue as highly charged as the future of the Supreme Court and the federal judiciary, suggesting this list of do's and don'ts."

This past Sunday in The Baltimore Sun, Law Professor Carl Tobias had an op-ed entitled "A judicial priority: Obama should act in an expeditious and bipartisan way to fill the long-vacant appellate seat of Md.'s Francis Murnaghan."

And yesterday's issue of Roll Call contained an article headlined "Jury Is Still Out on Obama Judges" (subscription required for full access).
