Ted Kennedy: Kennedy On The Confirmation Of Leslie Southwick
By newsdesk - Posted on October 30th, 2007
October 29, 2007 -- WASHINGTON, DC— Today, Senator Edward M. Kennedy released the following statement on the confirmation of Judge Leslie Southwick to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit.
“Southwick's appalling record on civil rights and the rights of employees who challenge corporate abuses does not qualify him for a lifetime appointment to the court of appeals. His confirmation is a setback for our nation and especially for the Fifth Circuit, the court once famed for the courage of its judges in standing up for civil rights.”
