GOP bill seeks to eliminate District commission that nominates DC court judges

Описание: Legislation that would eliminate the District of Columbia's Judicial Nomination Commission (JNC) is among the 14 D.C.-related bills up for consideration by Congress.
Currently, the JNC is responsible for selecting nominees to fill judicial vacancies in D.C.'s local courts: the Superior Court and the Court of Appeals. The seven-member commission includes appointments by the president, the mayor, the D.C. Council, the chief judge of the U.S. District Court, and the D.C. Bar. After the commission recommends candidates, the president makes appointments with Senate confirmation.
