Bush Nominates Shalom Stone For the Third Circuit

President Bush nominated Shalom Stone from Walder Hayden & Brogan in Roseland, NJ for the Third Circuit. Several newspapers printed articles, though, about complaints from New Jersey Senators Frank Lautenberg and Robert Menendez that the White House did not consult with them, as is traditionally done, before making the nomination. For the seat vacated by Samuel Alito, Bush originally nominated Noel Hillman but withdrew it earlier this year.
