Abstract
Description
Includes descriptive metadata provided by producer in MP3 file: "A Vanderbilt political science and law professor says research does not support the Christian Right's portrayal of federal judges as liberal activists. Listen to an interview with Stefanie Lindquist." The committee process, rather than filibuster, was used to block federal bench nominees during the Clinton administration. Clinton's judges in fact have a quite moderate voting record. Lindquist argues that conservative judges may also be considered activists.
