SALTER – Graves caught in ‘Beltway shuffle’ for 5th Circuit seat
While Mississippi Supreme Court Justice James E. Graves Jr. hasn’t logged the time in a political holding pattern that Judge Charles Pickering did, the jurist is caught in the same “Beltway shuffle” that mistreated Pickering.
Graves was nominated by President Barack Obama in June to the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. The 5th Circuit hears appeals from the federal courts in Mississippi, Louisiana and Texas.
Obama tapped Graves when 5th Circuit Judge Rhesa Barksdale took senior status last fall.
