Judge Posner Weighs in on Judicial Review Provisions of Specter Bill
In a letter to Sen. Durbin dated Mar. 15, 2006, Judge Richard A. Posner of the Second Circuit criticized Secs. 701 & 707 of the Specter bill: “Funneling all petitions for judicial review of [BIA] orders to the Federal Circuit and authorizing single judges of that court to deny petitions without further review are neither just nor effective solutions.” For a copy of the letter, check out http://www.bibdaily.com/%2Fpdfs%2FPosner%20to%20Durbin%203-15-06.pdf
