Wow, there has never been a public defender on the bench? -- nm - spamlet Mar 2, 12:29 3
- Not sure, but don't think so, which also make it an intriguing choice. -- nm - ty97 Mar 2, 12:34
- i don't think there were public defenders, as such, until Gideon v. Wainwright made a indigent defense mandatory -- nm* - sweet baboo Mar 2, 12:30 1
  - and even then, prosecutors are much more likely than defenders to get nominated for judgeships -- nm - sweet baboo Mar 2, 12:32
She's an Iowan (nicely played White House) who was unanimously confirmed to the appeals court three years ago. -- nm - ty97 Mar 2, 12:21 7

  - it's a total F.U. move to the Judiciary Committee Chair (Grassley) -- nm - sweet baboo Mar 2, 12:26
- "In a Senate floor speech in 2013, Mr. Grassley effusively praised Judge Kelly, who has spent her career in Iowa and is well regarded in legal circles - ty97 Mar 2, 12:22 4
  - Fantastic. This is why it's taking a while. They are trying to find the candidate that completely and absolutely exposes what's going on. -- nm - pmb Mar 2, 12:34
