‘THESE
ARE
1 NO SLOUCHES’
POINTERS
President Obama announced his three picks for the U.S. Court of Appeals
for the District of Columbia Circuit on Tuesday, pressuring Republicans to
swiftly consider them for confirmation. His nominees have had to wait
an average of three times longer than former President George W. Bush’s
nominees, and Obama said the delays have to stop “for the good of the
American people.” The nominees are Patricia Ann Millet, Cornelia Pillard and
Robert Leon Wilkins. “These are no slouches. These are no hacks,” Obama
said. “These are incredibly accomplished lawyers by all accounts.”
