WASHINGTON - President Bush re-nominated Claude A. Allen for a federal appeals court seat yesterday, putting the conservative Virginian back in the spotlight and re-igniting a battle that pitted Maryland's two Democratic senators against the White House last year.
Allen was nominated last spring to fill a vacancy on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 4th Circuit, formerly held by Francis D. Murnaghan Jr., a liberal from Baltimore who died in 2000.

I'm beginning to suspect that the President is going to start making a bigger issue of judicial appointments this year. I hope so, anyway!

I suspect the Prez is planning to use these nominations to underscore the actions of the Dims in the Senate in their unending efforts to block the progress of qualified people, including women and minority candidates. I hope the RNC comes out with some really, REALLY, hard-hitting campaign ads on this issue.

Found it......... he was returned to White House and thus required that his named be resubmitted...... Tho only one I think this happened to.
RICHMOND — President Bush has renominated Claude A. Allen for the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, which could lead to another battle with Democrats.
When the 2003 U.S. Senate session ended in December, Democratic leaders promised to oppose the nomination of Allen, deputy secretary for the Department of Health and Human Services, for a lifetime appointment to the federal bench.
The nomination of the 42-year-old Republican, who was Virginia secretary of health and human resources under Gov. Jim Gilmore's administration, was returned to the White House when the Senate went home.
The move signaled Democrats' strong opposition and required the White House to resubmit Allen's nomination if Bush chose to pursue it. Tuesday, Bush renominated Allen.
