Schumer Recommends Vitaliano for Eastern District Slot

Acting Supreme Court Justice Eric N. Vitaliano of Staten Island has been recommended to President George W. Bush by U.S. Senator Charles E. Schumer to fill a vacancy at the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District. Justice Vitaliano, a conservative Democrat who opposes abortion and supports the death penalty, was a state assemblyman for 18 years before his election to the Civil Court in 2001. Under a bipartisan deal worked out two years ago, Mr. Schumer was authorized to pick the nominee for the next Eastern District opening. Initially, he recommended former Staten Island District Attorney William L. Murphy, who withdrew for health reasons. - Daniel Wise


Please contact Senator Schumer's office and let them know that we will not tolerate this. He does not get a free pass because of his popularity in NY, and his likely reelection.
