| I strongly believe it is in the best interest of the American people to expedite the judicial confirmations process and resolve our long-standing judicial vacancy crisis. Federal judges are important in preserving our constitutional rights and ensuring Americans have access to an independent judiciary. I believe judicial nominees should be evaluated based on judicial temperament, integrity, intelligence, and experience.
Unfortunately, a few partisan Senators have politicized the judicial confirmation process with the use of unprecedented filibusters against President Bush’s judicial nominations. I am working very hard to end this obstructionism, repair the broken judicial nomination process, and stop the current tyranny of the minority. |
