Twenty-eight former Supreme Court clerks for justices ranging from Antonin Scalia to Ruth Bader Ginsburg sent a letter to Capitol Hill on Thursday vouching for Sri Srinivasan, whom President Obama has nominated to be a judge on the powerful D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals.
“We have no doubt that, should he be confirmed, Sri would epitomize the highest ideals of judicial demeanor and colleagiality, and we support his nomination to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit without reservation,” the former clerks wrote.
