"Today, despite the attempted obstruction by a majority of Senate Democrats, the U.S. Senate voted to confirm Judge Leslie Southwick to the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals. All supporters of fairness should applaud the tireless efforts of Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and Senator Arlen Specter, ranking minority member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, to get Judge Southwick a fair up-or-down vote. Judge Southwick served his nation honorably in Iraq and today we celebrate his confirmation as it allows this American patriot to continue serving his country in a position he is so well qualified to hold."
