U.S. Rep. David Scott, a Georgia Democrat who has vigorously opposed Boggs nomination, said in a statement on Wednesday to the Daily Report, Im glad that the president has closed the door on this nomination so we can start the new year looking ahead, not back. There are hundreds of qualified attorneys in Georgia who could serve as a federal judge and I ask that an open and fair process be used to select the next nominees. Boggss nomination was part of a compromise package deal that the White House made with Chambliss and Isakson last year. But Boggs nomination stalled in the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee after national civil rights and womens reproductive rights groups began campaigning against Boggs, largely because of his track record as a state legislator.
