Civil Right Groups Want Boggs Up nd Out

Questions have been raised when it comes to the nominees of federal state bench. Michael Boggs, a supreme court judge, nominee selection has been problem for the Civil Right groups of America. Civil Rights leaders have made it their agenda to get this nomination striped from Judge Boggs.  In 2001 Boggs voted to keep the confederate represented flag also known as Georgia's original state flag. Civil Rights leaders have reached out to the highest hierarchy of the White House to make this plan a success.

Boggs has been appointed numerous judicial positions in his career throughout Georgia. While holding his position as State Representative to the General Assembly in 2001, Judge  Boggs was one of the 82 voters in the situation to keep the confederate symbol on the Georgia flag. This made the minorities most of all ,African Americans, suspicious of Boggs decision making as judge in the court system. 

Although the topic in the media has been the negative on Michael Boggs, I believe there has to be a  reason that he is even considered for the position on the bench. The Georgia Court of Appeals Judge and former Georgia House of Representatives member for three consecutive years has undoubtedly qualified himself for the position nominated to him.

 Civil Right Groups have made attempts to the White House to see that Boggs does not become a nominees to the federal bench in Georgia. I believe that the civil right group are doing the right thing in speaking up for this cause because that vote right there could have made an impression on a lot of African American Georgians that could not put their trust in Boggs knowing he is a judge and state leader for Georgia.

The public should have a say so in all the positions chosen in the State government that affect their well being. If not this may well give citizens the idea that our government leaders are not really " For The People".

White House cut a deal with the state's Republican senators on judicial nominees , this is why The White House is taking so much heat from the public and Civil Right groups. Civil Rights leaders have made attempts to speaks with President Obama as well as Michael Boggs himself but have failed on both attempts. No comments have been reported from the White House concerning this event but the media spotlight on the subject will not go unheard by The White House. 

The daily report news article reported that , "Nominees for federal judgeship's usually avoid public comment under protocols set by the White House and Congress."

The Republican deal put Georgia's minority citizens at an uneasy state because they know the goals of the Republicans are not set up to work in their favor. Michael Boggs' republican influenced decision back in 2001 has came back as a negative affect on his career.

I believe that the state citizens' opinions should be taken into consideration because with Boggs on the federal bench in Georgia this would make citizens uncomfortable with his decision making. I think that if these Civil Rights groups took this time out to contact the White House then this was a heavy issue in their opinion, and it should be handled as such.
