: ConfirmThemGive Conrad a Hearing
By AndrewHyman
The Charlotte Observer makes a good point in their January 10 editorial...."Senate, do your duty: Give Conrad's nomination for 4th Circuit bench a hearing".
J. Dickson Phillips of North Carolina was appointed by Jimmy Carter, and he took senior status in 1994. Robert J. Conrad of North Carolina has been nominated for his seat. The seat has now been empty for fourteen years.
Both North Carolina senators support the Conrad nomination (see Dole statement and Burr statement).
The Fourth Circuit is now one-third vacant. There is a broad consensus that the circuit cannot function properly with so many vacancies.
