A CALL FOR OBAMA TO RENOMINATE PETER KEISLER: “Keisler is a superbly qualified nominee (more on that later) who has been praised by legal experts and editorial boards across the political spectrum but has been treated extremely shabbily by Senate Democrats. There is excellent precedent for a president of one party re-nominating an out-going chief executive’s judicial choice. In 2000, a Republican-majority Senate never acted on former President Clinton’s nomination of Virginia’s Roger Gregory to the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals, but President George W. Bush included Gregory among his very first group of nominees in 2001.”
