A Philadelphia federal judge will soon be nominated for a 3rd Circuit seat, and will be replaced on the district court by a former lawyer for Sen. Arlen Specter, sources say. Lawyers close to the process said Specter had been lobbying for Reed Smith partner Carolyn Short to get the 3rd Circuit position -- but when the White House rejected Short, Specter agreed to a package deal in which U.S. District Judge Gene E.K. Pratter will get the 3rd Circuit seat and Short will later be nominated to replace Pratter.
