The Editors at National Review have written a pointed editorial explaining how the stalled nomination of Judge Leslie Southwick is a test of character for senators. The article gives valuable information on Southwick’s qualifications and his nomination saga demonstrating that further delay is simply unconscionable.
The Politico reports that some members of the Senate Judiciary Committee have been stalling business by not attending committee meetings. The article suggests that this may be an act of retaliation for the unfair treatment of Judge Southwick.
For more information on Southwick check the AdvanceUSA home page or pro-justice page.
UPDATE: Call both your senators today and urge them to vote “yes” on Sen. McConnell’s amendment to express the sense of the Senate that Judge Southwick should receive a fair up or down vote!
