Law - Indiana's Judge Hamilton has been approved for the 7th Circuit, but Dawn Johnsen still waits.

I looked this afternoon for up-to-date information on the status of IU Law Prof Dawn Johnsen's nomination to head the Office of Legal Counsel and found this, from Firedoglake, headed "And Still She Waits." It begins:

Eleven months ago today, President Obama announced four people he intended to nominate for senior positions at the Department of Justice. David Ogden and Thomas Perrelli were confirmed on March 12, 2009, and Elena Kagen on March 19th.

Meanwhile, Dawn Johnsen — the nominee to head the Office of Legal Counsel — waited.

Worth reading.
