Republicans derail Judge Chatigny’s 2nd Cir. Appeals Court nomination

Hartford Courant / Capitol Watch: “U.S. Senate Republicans have derailed President Obama’s nomination of Hartford district judge Robert N. Chatigny to the federal appeals court . . . The nomination is opposed by Judiciary committee Republicans who say Chatigny exceeded his judicial authority when he intervened in the case of notorious, serial killer Michael B. Ross and postponed Ross’s execution.”
