On Friday, President Joe Biden nominated attorney Julie Rikelman—who represented the Mississippi clinic at the heart of the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade—to serve on the 1st U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. MsReads via Reuters
Biden's latest slate of nine new judicial nominees included Julie Rikelman, an abortion rights lawyer with the Center for Reproductive Rights whom the president picked to serve on the Boston-based 1st U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.
The nomination followed criticism by Biden's fellow Democrats about a since-abandoned plan to nominate a Republican who had defended abortion restrictions to a judgeship in Kentucky, in a deal with Republican Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell.Progressive advocates have been warning that the window to confirm new judicial nominees like Rikelman and others is narrowing with Nov. 8 midterm elections fast approaching - and the risk that Republicans regain control of the Senate.
Biden's latest nominees continued the White House's push to diversify the federal bench. They include Daniel Calabretta, a California state court judge nominated to become the first openly LGBT federal judge in the state's Eastern District.
