I should be delighted by President Barack Obama’s nomination of Robert Chatigny to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. The judge appears virulently opposed to the death penalty. He appears to think that sex offender registration laws are too harsh and punitive. He previously represented people accused of crimes. One would think I would be dancing in the streets with glee.
Instead, I am relieved that the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee derailed the express train that was to rush the judge through the confirmation process before anyone had time to ask meaningful questions.
