Bill Clinton judicial appointment controversies

December 15, 2023

During President Bill Clinton's first and second terms of office, he nominated 24 people for 20 federal appellate judgeships but the nominees were not processed by the Republican-controlled Senate Judiciary Committee. Three of the nominees who were not processed (Christine Arguello, Andre M. Davis and S. Elizabeth Gibson) were nominated after July 1, 2000, the traditional start date of the unofficial Thurmond Rule during a presidential election year. Democrats claim that Senate Republicans of the 106th Congress purposely tried to keep open particular judgeships as a political maneuver to allow a future Republican president to fill them. Of the 20 seats in question, four were eventually filled with different Clinton nominees, fourteen were later filled with Republican nominees by President George W. Bush and two continued to stay open during Bush's presidency. Senator Harry Reid, the Democratic leader of the United States Senate during the 110th Congress, and Senator Patrick Leahy, the Democratic leader of the Senate Judiciary Committee under Reid, repeatedly mentioned the controversy over President Clinton's court of appeals nominees during the controversy involving the confirmation of Republican court of appeals nominees during the last two years of Bush's second term. Republicans claimed that Democrats were refusing to confirm certain longstanding Bush nominees in order to allow a future Democratic president in 2009 to fill those judgeships.

During his presidency, Clinton also nominated 45 people for 42 federal district judgeships who were never confirmed by the United States Senate and successfully nominated 66 people for appellate judgeships.

List of unsuccessful federal judicial nominations edit

Clinton made 72 nominations for federal judgeships that were not confirmed by the Senate. Of these, one, Ronnie L. White, was rejected by the Senate, 11 were withdrawn by President Clinton, 10 were withdrawn by President George W. Bush, while the other 50 expired at an adjournment of the Senate, including 32 that were pending at the close of the 106th Congress. Eleven of his unsuccessful nominees were subsequently nominated to federal judgeships by other presidents, and all 11 were confirmed.

Failed appellate nominees edit

Others who were nominated or considered for nomination to federal appellate courts edit

While not a controversy, one other Clinton appellate court nominee, Barbara Durham, withdrew before being confirmed, but not because of Republican opposition. Rather, Durham, a conservative jurist whom Clinton nominated to the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit as part of a deal with then-Washington Sen. Slade Gorton, withdrew because of illness. Clinton instead nominated Republican lawyer Richard Tallman of Seattle to the seat to which he had nominated Durham, and Tallman was confirmed in 2000.

While he was never formally nominated to the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, Peter Edelman was strongly considered by Clinton for a seat on that appeals court in late 1994. After the influential Republican member of the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee Sen. Orrin Hatch informed Clinton that he had intended to oppose Edelman's nomination, Clinton dropped plans to nominate Edelman to the D.C. Circuit, choosing Merrick Garland instead.[94]

In its November 1997 issue, the American Spectator reported that President Clinton had intended to nominate Teresa Wynn Roseborough in 1997 to a vacant seat on the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit after Judge Phyllis A. Kravitch took senior status. The American Spectator noted, however, that Sen. Orrin Hatch, the then-chairman of the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee, had "balked" at the idea of Roseborough, who was one of four finalists (the others were Leah Ward Sears, Clarence Cooper and Frank M. Hull) and had "suggested that a more moderate Clinton-appointed U.S. district judge, Frank Hull, would have clear sailing." Indeed, Frank M. Hull was confirmed by the Senate in a 96-0 vote in September 1997.[95]

Failed district court nominees edit

During his presidency, Clinton nominated 45 people for 42 different federal district judgeships to federal district courts who were never confirmed by the U.S. Senate. Like the appellate court nominations mentioned above, many of these nominees were blocked by Republicans either in the Senate Judiciary Committee, which was controlled by Republicans for six of the eight years of Clinton’s presidency, or on the Senate floor, where one nominee, Ronnie L. White, was defeated by senators.

Of the 42 federal district judgeship vacancies in question, 17 eventually were filled with different Clinton nominees, 24 were filled by nominees of President George W. Bush and one never ended up becoming vacant because the district judge holding it never received confirmation to be elevated to an appellate court. Of Clinton's 45 failed district court nominees, four, Legrome D. Davis, David S. Cercone, Dolly M. Gee and Sue E. Myerscough, subsequently were nominated by Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama to federal district judgeships and then confirmed by the Senate.

Columbia to seat vacated by James L Buckley Judgeship later filled by Bush nominee John G Roberts Jr Allen Snyder of Maryland to seat vacated by Patricia Wald Judgeship later filled by Bush nominee Thomas B Griffith Others who were nominated or considered for nomination to federal appellate courts editWhile not a controversy one other Clinton appellate court nominee Barbara Durham withdrew before being confirmed but not because of Republican opposition Rather Durham a conservative jurist whom Clinton nominated to the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit as part of a deal with then Washington Sen Slade Gorton withdrew because of illness Clinton instead nominated Republican lawyer Richard Tallman of Seattle to the seat to which he had nominated Durham and Tallman was confirmed in 2000 While he was never formally nominated to the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit Peter Edelman was strongly considered by Clinton for a seat on that appeals court in late 1994 After the influential Republican member of the U S Senate Judiciary Committee Sen Orrin Hatch informed Clinton that he had intended to oppose Edelman s nomination Clinton dropped plans to nominate Edelman to the D C Circuit choosing Merrick Garland instead 94 In its November 1997 issue the American Spectator reported that President Clinton had intended to nominate Teresa Wynn Roseborough in 1997 to a vacant seat on the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit after Judge Phyllis A Kravitch took senior status The American Spectator noted however that Sen Orrin Hatch the then chairman of the U S Senate Judiciary Committee had balked at the idea of Roseborough who was one of four finalists the others were Leah Ward Sears Clarence Cooper and Frank M Hull and had suggested that a more moderate Clinton appointed U S district judge Frank Hull would have clear sailing Indeed Frank M Hull was confirmed by the Senate in a 96 0 vote in September 1997 95 Failed district court nominees editDuring his presidency Clinton nominated 45 people for 42 different federal district judgeships to federal district courts who were never confirmed by the U S Senate Like the appellate court nominations mentioned above many of these nominees were blocked by Republicans either in the Senate Judiciary Committee which was controlled by Republicans for six of the eight years of Clinton s presidency or on the Senate floor where one nominee Ronnie L White was defeated by senators Of the 42 federal district judgeship vacancies in question 17 eventually were filled with different Clinton nominees 24 were filled by nominees of President George W Bush and one never ended up becoming vacant because the district judge holding it never received confirmation to be elevated to an appellate court Of Clinton s 45 failed district court nominees four Legrome D Davis David S Cercone Dolly M Gee and Sue E Myerscough subsequently were nominated by Presidents George
