Statement of Governor Kaine -- On nomination of Barbara Keenan to U.S. 4th Circuit Court

Governor Timothy M. Kaine issued the following statement today on President Obama's nomination of Virginia Supreme Court Justice Barbara Keenan to the United States Court of Appeals for the 4th Circuit:

"Justice Barbara Keenan is the ideal combination of intellect and judicial temperament. With her impeccable credentials and experience in multiple Virginia courts, Justice Keenan is well-suited for a judgeship in the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals. In nearly three decades on the bench, Justice Keenan has earned the respect of her colleagues and the broader legal community for her balanced and thoughtful judgment in cases both clear and complicated.

"I have personally known Justice Keenan to be a balanced and thorough arbiter-her nomination today is good news for Virginia and good news for this important court. I am confident she will continue to wield justice fairly and equitably as a 4th Circuit judge.
