An organization representing the state’s leading African-American legal associations is asking to meet with President Barack Obama to object to a slate of candidates now being considered by the White House for six federal judgeships in Georgia.
The group wants the president to delay filling the judicial posts—two on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit and four on the Northern District of Georgia bench—rather than nominate a list of candidates that Georgia’s two Republican senators approved in consultation with the White House counsel earlier this year.
