Montana's senior U.S. Senator Max Baucus took to the floor of the U.S. Senate today to help address Montana's judicial emergencies by urging his colleagues to confirm Judge Susan Watters and Justice Brian Morris to the federal bench.
"Justice Morris and Judge Watters are supremely qualified, and their service is sorely needed. Montana has three federal district court judgeships. The vacancies that Justice Morris and Judge Watters will fill are both considered judicial emergencies," said Baucus today during a speech on the floor of the U.S. Senate. "Justice Morris and Judge Watters embody the qualities Montanans demand of their federal judges. Their intellect, experience, and integrity are above reproach. I urge my colleagues to join me in supporting their nominations."
