Third Circuit Court of Appeals: Judge Luis Felipe Restrepo

For the last year, the primary focus of WCM-PA’s work was on pushing the confirmation of Judge Luis Felipe Restrepo to the Third Circuit Court of Appeals. Prior to finally being confirmed in late January of 2016–after being held up for more than a year–Judge Restrepo had served on the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. Judge Restrepo was nominated back in November of 2014, on the bipartisan recommendation of both of Senator Bob Casey and Pat Toomey. He was an incredibly well-qualified nominee with a background as a public defender and son of first-generation Americans.

With Judge Restrepo confirmed, we are now focused on ensuring the Trump Administration nominates mainstream jurists for our federal court benches.
