Pennsylvania Senators Patrick Toomey and Bob Casey got together to ensure appointment of a full complement of federal judges in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania. Hallelujah. We had vacancies for so long in the Middle District that we had been declared a judicial emergency. Judge Matthew W. Brann in Williamsport and Judge Malachy E. Mannion in Wilkes-Barre should do a fine, credible job and be hard-working employees for the American taxpayer.

Unfortunately, there are still many vacancies to be filled.
