WASHINGTON -- The head of the Arkansas NAACP on Friday challenged 3rd District Rep. John Boozman's commitment to diversity in the judiciary after the congressman announced six candidates for a vacant federal judge position.
Boozman, R-Rogers, forwarded the names of three whites and three blacks to President Bush, who will select one person from that list to replace the late U.S. District Judge George Howard, who was black.
Dale Charles, president of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People's state conference said he thought only blacks should have been on the list.
Howard, who held court in the Little Rock-based Eastern District, was the first black federal judge in Arkansas.
Boozman said he looked for the best candidates for the job, regardless of race.
"I recall him saying race would not be his first criteria for a replacement, which I strongly disagree with," Charles said. "Him having said that then gives one the mindset to question whether he believes in diversity."

This cat needs to re think his approach
Racism rears it’s ugly head, I see.
Hey, I hope the three blacks are all conservatives. That would really send the NAACP ballistic.
“Brutha Charles is a black racist.”
By the NAACP’s standards?
I knew she was good, but I didn’t know she was *that* good. No wonder leftists hate her.
David Pryor as new Senator for Life a Democrat baby said he thinks a black should be appointed and he is going to strongly recommend that to the President. He is a racist and does not have the sense to know it. Doofus. Daddys baby.
I knew I liked Judge Brown -- but I didn't know I liked her that much.
Good quotes.
Probably a dream that she ever gets nominated to the Supreme Court - but if she got a seat there it would be a great day for America and our Constitution...
“President George W. Bush nominated her to her current position in 2003. However, her nomination was stalled in the U.S. Senate for almost two years due to Democratic opposition. She began serving as a federal appellate court judge on June 8, 2005. She has been frequently mentioned as a possible Bush nominee to the United States Supreme Court.”

She would never make it with the current make-up of the Judiciary.
Yup, but I can dream...
