William G. Myers III Nomination (Archive)

Nomination Withdrawn December 2004
U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit

A review of William G. Myers' past record shows disregard and disrespect for the concerns of the Native American community, a troubling legal philosophy that would elevate property rights to a level of constitutional scrutiny reserved for fundamental rights, and a limited view of Congress' commerce power, which leads to implications that could impact civil rights.
