Republican Sen. Ron Johnson is single-handedly blocking the nomination of a University of Wisconsin law professor to the 7th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals – a nominee who though likely no ideological soul mate of the freshman senator appears to be well-qualified and who was nominated before Johnson even took office.
Johnson?s single-minded opposition to Victoria Nourse (who teaches at the UW Law School) seems more of a political game than anything else and one that he should put a quick end to.
