Clearly nobody on the left would oppose the nomination of judges that they may deem too conservative. No not never.

By expressing "concern" over the 4th Circuit's "changing makeup", does Holding mean he is "concerned" that longstanding vacancies are being filled SO THAT THE FOURTH CIRCUIT CAN DO ITS JOB???

Maybe he prefers governmental institutions that operate at two-thirds capacity? Maybe he enjoys seeing North Carolinians drastically under-represented on such an important Court? Then again, maybe he objects for for the sake of objection; kind of like someone who disagrees just to be disagreeable.

I don't know about the other two nominees, but Diaz and Wynn appear to be ideological centrists with broad experience and reputations for competence and fairness. Maybe Holding doesn't value such qualities in Appellate Court Judges, but I think that most citizens do.

Mind boggling

Poor George Holding doesn't even realize what a political hack he is. This guy gives sparkly new meaning to the delusion of objectivity on the bench. What an embarrassment.

So it's okay for draft-dodging George to pack the courts, and it's cause for concern that his successor is trying for a more balanced judiciary?

It's hard to understand Hagan's giving this guy the benefit of the doubt. Thank god he's on his way out.

I wonder if a wise Latino "Man" will make a better decision than a white man? Or does this only pertain to wise Latino women like Sotomayor?

Well, there's two more CROOKS going up the ladder.

While neither of these gentleman was my first choice, I am very pleased with their nomination. I think it reflects well on the state of NC that we have so many excellent judges. I also think that it reflects well on the Obama administration that they chose competent, centrist judges rather than party hacks or ideologues. I can't imagine Richard Burr or anyone else objecting to these nominations, and, in fact, I bet that Burr has already given his tacit approval.

Both of these Judges are fine choices by the President!!! Hopefully they will be confirmed quickly.
