NARAL on Boggs Vote Postponement by Senate Judiciary Committee

Today, Sen. Leahy announced that the Judiciary Committee was moving forward on the confirmation process for Georgia judicial nominees with the notable exclusion of Michael Boggs.

Said NARAL Pro-Choice America President Ilyse Hogue:

“Michael Boggs not getting a vote this week in the Senate Judiciary Committee reaffirms his questionable record and inconsistent statements. As we have said all along, he has demonstrated a frightening pattern of disregarding civil rights and the fundamental equality of women and LGBT people that should disqualify him for a lifetime appointment to the federal bench. He still needs to answer for this history, the same history he campaigned on when he was running to be a judge. We will continue our efforts to make sure the committee, the full Senate, and the public are aware of Boggs’ past and to defeat his confirmation.”
