  • Statement of Senator Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.), Chairman, Senate Judiciary Committee, on Cloture on the Nomination of Caitlin Halligan to the D.C
    Statement Of Senator Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.), Chairman, Senate Judiciary Committee, On Cloture On The Nomination Of Caitlin Halligan to the D.C. Circuit December 5, 2011 Tomorrow the Senate should be holding an up-or-down vote on the long-delayed nomination of Caitlin Halligan to fill one of three vacancies on the Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit. Instead, for the seventh time since President Obama took office 34 months ago, we are required to overcome a Republican filibuster for the Senate to consider one of President Obama’s superbly qualified judicial nominees. Ms. Halligan, President Obama’s first nominee to the important D.C. Circuit, is the former Solicitor General for the State of New York. With an impressive record in private practice and public service, she is widely respected for the quality of her work as an advocate. Indeed, Ms. Halligan’s nomination was greeted with bipartisan support and has since garnered endorsements from law enforcement officials and organizations, women’s organizations, law school deans and professors, judges and preeminent lawyers from across the political spectrum. The Judiciary Committee favorably reported Ms. Halligan’s nomination nearly nine months ago. By any traditional standard, she is the kind of superbly qualified nominee who should easily have been confirmed by the Senate months ago with the support of both Republicans and Democrats. I am disappointed that yet again instead of seeing bipartisan cooperation we are required to seek cloture. New Standards for President Obama’s Judicial Nominations From the beginning of the Obama administration, we have seen Senate Republicans shift significantly away from the standards they used to apply to the judicial nominations of a Republican President.

  • Vote Scorecard
    FAMILY RESEARCH COUNCIL ACTIOn VOTE SCORECARD 109TH CONGRESS 1ST SESSION U.S. House of Representatives Dear Voter and Friend of the Family: Family Research Council presents our Vote Scorecard for the First Session of the 109th Congress. This Scorecard contains a compilation of significant votes representing a cross section of issues affecting the family. These recorded votes occurred in the U.S. House of Representatives during the First Session of the 109th Congress. This scorecard shows how your elected officials voted on some of the critical issues involving the family. It is important to remember, however, that the votes you see here are only a few of the hundreds of recorded votes Members of Congress took in 2005. We have singled out for inclusion the most clear-cut, pro-family votes that came before Congress. The election of 2004 was touted by the media as the election that the “values voter” won. President George W. Bush was returned to the White House and pro-family candidates helped increase the Republican majority in both chambers of Congress. The House recognized the renewed importance of Congress’ role in protecting the family by passing legislation that included increased fines for indecency, protections of parental rights in cases of minors crossing state lines for an abortion, elimination of the death tax, promotion of ethical stem cell research and an attempt to halt the court-ordered starvation of Theresa Marie Schiavo. The hard fought victory of the 2004 election did not similarly translate into pro-family victories in the Senate. Bogged down by a debate over President Bush’s judicial nominees and fearful of a smaller but more vocal minority in the Senate, the Senate majority failed to act on the many initiatives taken by the House.

  • An Article Iii Renaissance in Administrative Law: a Return to the Judicial Past?
    NELSONRTP.DOCX (DO NOT DELETE) 5/16/20 10:13 AM AN ARTICLE III RENAISSANCE IN ADMINISTRATIVE LAW: A RETURN TO THE JUDICIAL PAST? RONALD L. NELSON* Modern American administrative law recognizes the broad role administrative agencies play in carrying out federal law. A key feature of current administrative law is judicial deference to agency interpretation of U.S. law. This deference, known as the Chevron doctrine, stems from the Supreme Court’s holding in Chevron v. NRDC (1984). Chevron held that courts should defer to agency actions that fill in gaps in statutory texts. Two years ago, in Waterkeeper Alliance v. EPA (2017), the D.C. Circuit of Appeals held that the EPA went too far with a rule that exempted farms from complying with reporting requirements regarding air releases from animal wastes. In a concurring opinion, Circuit Judge Janice Rogers Brown questioned the Chevron doctrine and argued that it was inconsistent with the Marbury v. Madison principle that it is a court’s duty to declare what the law is. Judge Brown claimed that: “An Article III renaissance is emerging against the judicial abdication performed in Chevron’s name.” In support of her call for a renaissance, Judge Brown quoted Justice Neil Gorsuch. Just one year before his 2017 elevation to Supreme Court, Judge Gorsuch wrote: “For whatever the agency may be doing under Chevron, the problem remains that courts are not fulfilling their duty to interpret the law.” Gutierrez-Brizuela v. Lynch (10th Cir. 2016) (Gorsuch J., concurring). This paper is a preliminary examination of what an Article III renaissance might mean and where it might lead—particularly with respect to judicial review in modern administrative law and, perhaps, beyond.

Bush. SM 22 implies the New Mexico Senate’s support of President George W. Bush’s commitment to appoint federal judges who will strictly interpret the United States Consti- tution. The memorial is written to voice concerns over a perceived approach used by a few fed- eral court judges and United States Senators to slow down the nomination process. Significant Issues The AGO has the following comment: The President has authority to “nominate” Justices of the United States Supreme Court, and their appointment is subject to the “advice and consent” of the United States Senate under Article II, Section 2 of the Untied States Constitution.
