Lee Says Obama Shouldn’t Fill Court Vacancies

Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) attacked President Obama “for seeking to fill three judicial vacancies on the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals, arguing that those seats need not be filled before the court can function without them,” TPM reports.

Lee said he sees “no pressing need to fill those vacancies” and that Obama “appears to have targeted the D.C. Circuit in the hope that he can stack the deck to his advantage.”
