HOW THE CONTENTIOUS NATURE OF FEDERAL JUDICIAL APPOINTMENTS AFFECTS "DIVERSITY" ON THE BENCH Theresa M. Beiner * I. INTRODUCTION The focus of this Symposium has been on the contentious na- ture of the federal judicial appointments process and ways that this problem might be solved. My concern is with one aspect of this contentiousness: the difficulties of appointing a diverse bench. In this context, I mean diversity on many levels, including race, gender, socioeconomic status, as well as other background factors such as career track and-I dare to say it-judicial ideol- ogy, which I will more fully explain below. I would like to start with an anecdote from an episode of the television show The West Wing.

Knowing that you have already chaired two field hearings on these national treasures, 1 truly appreciate your longstanding commitment to hearing the views of Minnesotans and citizens nationwide. Mr. Chairman, we are here to discuss how it is possible to both protect and enjoy the beauty and splendor of these two national treasures. As you can see from the proposals we are debating today, we in the Minnesota delegation agree with each other on these goals, but differ as to how best to achieve them. During the two congressional field hearings in Minnesota, I found that nearly every Minnesotan also shares these goals. With that in mind, I have joined my colleague Jim Oberstar, who represents the areas containing both the BWCAW and Voyageurs National Park, in introducing modest, common-sense proposals to return to the original intents of the laws creating these two areas and to give the public a say in how their land is managed.
