American Constitution Society Launches New Judicial Nominations Website

[usregimechange]

"The American Constitution Society, Center for American Progress, and the Constitutional Accountability Center released a memo on this yesterday, detailing the 'crisis' on the courts, resulting from 'rampant filibusters, anonymous holds, and constant procedural delays.'"

The American Constitution Society is pleased to announce the launch of a new Web-based resource --JudicialNominations.org -- that will offer ACS members, and all those concerned with our federal courts and the speedy confirmation of judges, a critical resource to help stay informed about vacancies, nominations, and other developments in the courts. JudicialNominations.org brings together for the first time a wealth of information, including an interactive map that allows the user to select an individual district or circuit court and identify the number of vacancies in that area, how long those vacancies have existed, whether anyone has been nominated to that seat, and how long that nominee has been waiting for confirmation. The site also links to congressional statements, videos, upcoming hearings and other events, and the latest nomination news. We encourage you to use the information on JudicialNominations.org to keep abreast of developments in your area and nationwide and make a difference.
