William Pryor Vote Could Come Today
The New York Times again opposes the Senate confirmation of Judicial Nominee William Pryor in today's editorial, An Extremist Judicial Nominee. Here's the beginning:
The Senate Judiciary Committee could vote as early as today on the nomination of the Alabama attorney general, William Pryor, to a federal appeals court judgeship. Mr. Pryor is among the most extreme of the Bush administration's far-right judicial nominees. If he is confirmed, his rulings on civil rights, abortion, gay rights and the separation of church and state would probably do substantial harm to the rights of all Americans. Senators from both parties should oppose his confirmation.
