Washington Post Editorial: Confirm Caitlin Halligan

Worth a pre-Thanksgiving read: Washington Post editorial urging confirmation of Caitlin Halligan, nominated to fill one of three vacant seats on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit. The editorial highlights Ms. Halligan's outstanding legal qualifications, extensive appellate experience gained during a noteworthy career encompassing both government service and private practice, and bipartisan support. I will add that she would be only the sixth woman to serve on this court in almost 120 years. Notwithstanding, as the Post noted, her nomination has been stalled since March. Bottom line: "Ms. Halligan has had a distinguished career and deserves to be confirmed."
