On the recordApril 15, 2002
I recommend to all of my friends in the Senate that we approve Judge O'Brien. Certainly, no one has been as qualified, as my colleague pointed out. In the appointment process, we had a committee sort through the judge prospects in our State, and they came up with Judge O'Brien as the judge they thought would be best qualified. I thank the committee for moving this matter along. He is one of the few circuit judges who has been approved, and we certainly look forward to his approval by the full Senate. Again, I recommend him without any question to be a circuit court judge in the Tenth Circuit.
