Dear Senator Stevenson—
Could you please have someone on your staff let me know where to direct official statements of public comment about the Judge Diana Hagan nomination? There are a number of people, including myself, who have deep concern about her nomination given her past record. Some of these concerns and developments, including for example about her record as to religious liberty, petitional speech/attorney representation, and judicial ethics issues, have been made available to Senator Todd Weiler as the Chair of the Committee in order to give him and others like you an early heads up about the pitfalls associated with her, so that you will not be blindsided. However, in addition to the background alert information, there is a group of people interested in submitting the statements of public comment and concern as well and in possibly even testifying or expressing views during any public meeting which might be held.
We know this is a very busy time for everyone on the Committee, but if we could please get the precise practical details for the preferred method of participation in these and other ways, we would very much appreciate it and will make every effort to utilize such avenues.
Please be aware that in contacting you, I am acting solely as a private concerned citizen and not as a representative of my law firm or any of the many organizations (including the Republican Party, Federalist Society, Rutherford Institute, various political campaigns, etc., etc.) with whom I have worked, volunteered, or affiliated. However, there are various people and attorneys concerned, not just me, and if you or someone on your behalf could please respond to this email address with the requested information, I would very much appreciate it. Thank you very much.
Respectfully,
Daniel E. Witte
Daniel E. Witte, Esq.
