Statement on the
Withdrawal of the Supreme Court Nomination of Douglas H. Ginsburg
It
was with regret that I received today Judge Douglas Ginsburg's decision to
withdraw his name from further consideration for the United States Supreme
Court. Judge Ginsburg believes that a prolonged confirmation process will not
benefit the Nation or the Court. I commended Judge Ginsburg for his record and
qualifications when I announced his selection, and I commend his selflessness
and clear thinking now. I will move promptly to name another nominee to fill
the vacancy on the Supreme Court.
