Was not being negative about moving forward, but also am aware of the appointment Obozo recently made for the appeals court which will have jurisdiction of any appeal.

Did I miss something? The article I read on the appeals appointment indicated it had not yet been approved by the Senate. The article also indicated that there are a number of his appointments that are being held up in the Senate.

Thanks.

I was not aware that the appointment had not passed Senate Approval.

Now that you mentioned it, I think the article I read indicated that she had been previously approved by the Senate for other positions. Will have to go back and look at that again.

Looks like you were right about the approval:

“A year ago, the ABA committee vetted Mercer University law professor Daisy Hurst Floyd for the opening, but Obama didn’t nominate her. Now the administration finds itself without a nominee at the start of an election year, historically a tricky time for getting a judicial pick through the Senate.”
