A San Francisco judge has been nominated to the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, the second time this year that the Bush administration selected a Latino for the nation's largest and most controversial federal appeals court.

The White House to day announced the nomination of Superior Court Carlos Bea, who must now be confirmed by the Republican-controlled Senate. President Bush chose Bea, 68, to fill one of three vacancies on the 28-member 9th Circuit, which interprets law for California and eight other Western states.

Will they filibuster this one too?

The Senate recently held a hearing on Kuhl's nomination, over the objections of Sen. Barbara Boxer,

Excellent Smithers.....

Actually quite smart of the President. If they filibuster this one they will really look anti-Hispanic.

No way Jose........ They are reserved for the special nominees, however they are defined by the ...crats. There have been 18 judicial nominees confirmed this year so far....

Genius. Sheer Genius. I'd *love* to see the California Comrades oppose this one...

If Barb doesn't get on board quickly, that 2 mil she has raised to run will not do her much good.

Played in the 1952 Olympics? How old is this guy? Pushing 70??????

Not a good move.

[NormsRevenge]

He must be pushing 70 ?

Yup, he's 68. But he still has a jump shot ;-)

When is Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens gonna croak?

He turns 83 tomorrow.

At this point, I'd settle for his retirement.

[aristeides]

Last I heard, Stevens's health was excellent.

must now be confirmed by the Republican-controlled Senate


Good Luck!
