New Fourth Circuit Nomination From MD May Be Imminent

Today's Baltimore Sun reports on a story that's been developing (see 9/13 Washington Post article here). The White House is poised to nominate Maryland's U.S. Attorney, 42-year-old Rod Rosenstein, to a seat on the Fourth Circuit. Today's article says the vetting process has accelerated and is in its final stages. Rosenstein has received good reviews for his performance as U.S. Attorney. The nomination would fill a "MD seat" long ago vacated by the late Francis Murnaghan.
