Feinstein gets Dem. criticism, GOP raves over judge confirmation

WASHINGTON — Sen. Dianne Feinstein's pivotal role in the confirmation of a controversial judge to a federal appeals court drew angry criticism from fellow Democrats on Wednesday—along with Republican applause.

Rep. Barbara Lee, D-Oakland, issued a press release saying she was "incredibly disappointed" in Feinstein, while Sen. Trent Lott, R-Miss., said he would devote a chapter to the California senator in a future book on leadership.

Feinstein was the only Democrat on the Senate Judiciary Committee to side with Republicans in favor of Judge Leslie Southwick. That allowed his nomination to get to the Senate floor, where it was approved 59-38 on Wednesday.

Critics say Southwick has shown an insensitivity to the history of civil rights struggles in the 5th Circuit, which is based in New Orleans and serves Mississippi, Louisiana and Texas. In one example, as a state appeals court judge in Mississippi, he was involved in a 1998 decision that upheld the reinstatement of a social worker who used a racial slur in reference to a co-worker.
