Georgia’s Congressional Democrats met Thursday in Washington with staff of the Office of White House Counsel to discuss Georgia’s open federal judgeships, an aide to U.S. Rep. David Scott confirmed.
The meeting took place after Georgia’s five Democratic House members sent a letter on Sept. 17 to President Barack Obama’s White House counsel, Kathryn Ruemmler, expressing their shock and disappointment over a proposed list of six candidates for federal judgeships in Georgia, including two open seats on the Eleventh Circuit U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals and four seats on the District Court.
