The AP reports that U.S. District Judge Royce C. Lamberth “the chief judge of the U.S. District Court in Washington on Monday said senators are ‘injuring the federal judiciary’ by holding up nominations and making a political issue out of the clients represented by lawyers up for federal positions.” He added that “he and his judicial colleagues were ‘virtually unanimous in our revulsion and disgust’ that debate over recent Justice Department nominees centered on the clients they have represented.'” He said, “The process for picking federal judges is totally broken and it badly needs to be fixed.”
