Sen. Kay Hagan's office says she misspoke Wednesday when she told reporters that she had forwarded three names to the White House as potential judicial nominations for the U.S. Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals.
In fact, the senator is in ongoing discussions with White House counsel about several possibilities, said Dave Hoffman, Hagan's spokesman, Barb Barrett reports. So while names have been talked about, there actually is no three-person short list for the appeals court, Hoffman said.
Hagan's statewide advisory panel also has agreed to speak with anyone who has expressed interest in the 4th Circuit, he said.
He said that in late June, Hagan's office will send the White House three-person lists — and make the lists public — for other federal judicial openings for roles such as U.S. District Judge and U.S. attorney.
Those recommendations are what Hagan was thinking of when she misspoke about the appeals court, Hoffman said.

Re: Hagan misspoke; no list of judges
Wow - if Burr would have had a slip up like this the "good ole progressives" at BlueNC would have tried to hang him in the public square, yet are no where to be found on this board.
Only proving that all three of yall (Gosh, James and SHarrison) are nothing but partisan hacks that get paid to trash Republicans by ACORN - well maybe not but still are washed up partisan hacks...
