Miguel Estrada Nomination (Archive)
Nomination Withdrawn on September 4, 2003
U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit
A review of Miguel Estrada's record to date raised serious questions about his commitment to equal justice and civil rights for all Americans. In addition, by refusing to adequately answer numerous questions posed to him at his September 26, 2002 hearing, as well as written questions following the hearing, Mr. Estrada had failed to demonstrate a commitment to the continued vigorous enforcement of critical constitutional and statutory rights in the areas of civil rights and civil liberties.
