Ron John the clown reinforces his position on blocking Biden's nomination of William Pocan

to the federal bench in Green Bay

Republican U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson said Friday there's no chance he'll change his position on blocking the nomination of Milwaukee County Circuit Judge William Pocan to an open seat on the federal court in Green Bay.

Without Johnson returning what's known as a blue slip, Pocan's prospects of gaining confirmation appear slim.

Johnson initially announced his opposition to Pocan the night before the Milwaukee County judge was due to appear for a confirmation hearing in front of the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee.

Johnson said some within the Green Bay legal community raised the issue of Pocan not being locally based. He also accused Pocan of having "granted low bail for someone charged with violent felonies."
