Sen. Kay Hagan Says North Carolina Underrepresented on Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals

[ccharles000]

I offer a letter from Kay Hagan without edit or commentary:


As you know, the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit covers five states – North Carolina, Maryland, South Carolina, Virginia, and West Virginia – and includes fifteen authorized judgeships. North Carolina, which has the largest and fastest-growing population of these five states (more than 9.2 million residents, or nearly 32 percent of those served by the 4th Circuit) is represented by only one judge on the court. South Carolina and Virginia have three judges each, while Maryland and West Virginia, the circuit’s smallest state with a population of just more than 1.8 million residents, have two judges each.

3. Probably has something to do with the fact that Jesse Helms blocked every single Judicial nominee...

coming from North Carolina while Clinton was President.

It looks like the hatred coming from Jesse Helms continues, even from the grave.

5. The judges don't even have to come from those states, this is whining at it's best.

6. Maybe you would prefer Elizabeth Dole's whining?

We now have a Dem senator, who beat Dole, pushing for better representation in the 4th circuit.
That's not a bad thing.

7. It would be the same whining, the president can appoint whoever he or she pleases

to the court if they are confirmed.

8. She is not whining
