The GOP’s top attorney-turned-senators argued that Halligan would be a liberal activist on the bench. “She is a skilled litigator with a distinguished career, but she has repeatedly advanced extreme legal theories inconsistent with judicial restraint,” Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, said in a March 6 statement explaining why he voted against cloture (which thus set a 60-vote threshold for Halligan’s nomination). “Whether on guns, marriage, or the legal standards applicable to alien terrorists, Ms. Halligan’s aggressive and consistent litigation agenda shows that she is not a suitable choice to serve on the critically important D.C. Circuit court....” [/quote]
