This time it's the White House filling a judicial vacancy in the 11th Circuit. Well, it's only a nomination, but still. Here's the scoop:

ReplyDeleteGiven that the SPLC considers any traditional Christian religious group to be a Hate Group, should make for an interesting confirmation hearing.
ReplyDeleteAnyone ever meet Skaden or Arps? How about Flom? Would that name stroke fear in opposing counsel?
ReplyDelete“ whose the lawyer in the other side?”
“Myron Flom”.
And this judicial appointee has an excellent first name.
