Political Quotes

“Brian Jackson and Elizabeth Erny Foote are outstanding candidates for judgeships in Louisiana's Middle and Western Districts. I was honored to recommend Brian Jackson and Beth Foote to the President last year. These two well-qualified, noncontroversial nominees are sorely needed in the districts they have been nominated to serve, where courts are facing unacceptable backlogs and sitting judges are overwhelmed with unmanageable caseloads. Ms. Foote and Mr. Jackson have been eager for this body to let them get to work serving justice to the people of Louisiana since they were reported by the Judiciary Committee on March 18. I am relieved to see that their long journey toward confirmation is drawing to a close. Brian Jackson is an exemplary public servant with a distinguished record as an attorney and prosecutor. He has extensive Federal experience, having worked for the Department of Justice for 16 years.”
