Siddons Nomination Reported Favorable by Senate Subcommittee
The judiciary subcommittee of the Senate voted 12 to 6 in favor of Frederic Siddons for district commissioner and associate justice, despite objections from Senators Culberson Mouish Nelson and others. The vote sets Siddons on track for executive-session confirmation, while Frampton’s nomination for internal revenue post remains unresolved. The proceedings included vigorous defense by Chilton and argument that the charges against Siddons relate to the committee’s actions, not Siddons personally.
