During a Tuesday morning event at the Rose Garden, President Barack Obama will announce his three nominations for the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit.
Obama is expected to make the announce at 10:30 a.m. EST, the White House said.
The nominations are poised to set up an intense battle with Senate Republicans, who have argued that the influential court doesn’t need any more judges on the bench.
As TPM reported, Obama will nominate Georgetown University law professor Cornelia Pillard, appeals lawyer Patricia Ann Millett and federal judge Robert Leon Wilkins.
