U.S. Senators Roger Wicker and Cindy Hyde-Smith have issued a joint statement supporting Mississippi Supreme Court Justices Robert Chamberlin and James Maxwell, whose nominations to the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Mississippi were reviewed by the Senate Judiciary Committee on Wednesday.
“We wholeheartedly support Justices Maxwell and Chamberlin’s nominations to the U.S. District Court. President Trump chose these men for their qualifications and experience, which will serve them well on the federal bench. Jimmy and Bobby have dedicated their lives to upholding the Constitution, defending the rule of law, and serving their Mississippi communities with distinction. They are ready to assume these federal roles, and we look forward to their speedy confirmation both in committee and by the Senate,” Wicker and Hyde-Smith said in their statement.
The senators introduced both nominees at their hearing. President Trump nominated Chamberlin and Maxwell for these positions on August 12.
