Bush Judicial Nominee Carolyn Kuhl Withraws From Consideration
One conservative judicial activist down. Carolyn Kuhl has withdrawn her name from consideration for a 9th Circuit judgeship. Kuhl was one of the nominees filibustered by Democrats last year. Her most vocal opposition came from women's and pro-choice groups.
We wrote about opposition to her nomination almost two years ago, quoting another Law.com article that reported:
On Friday, a coalition of left-leaning employment law, environmental, abortion rights and minority groups met to urge public opposition to Kuhl, saying she was among President Bush's most conservative nominees. She was called anti-consumer, anti-labor, anti-abortion, anti-environment and more.
If only William Meyers and Janice Rogers Brown, who are among two of the twenty names Bush resubmitted last week, would follow Kuhl's lead.
