If Congress does not approve her
before it adjourns, she would have to be
renominated during the next session.
Congress was previously scheduled
to adjourn Oct. 6, but postponed the
date to wrap up unfinished business. No
date has officially been set for the close
of the session.
Additional problems also face Gibson’s
nomination. U.S. Sen. Jesse Helms, R-
N.C., previously blocked the nomination
of N.C. Court of Appeals Judge James A.
Wynn Jr. and could still block Gibson’s
nomination. Senate rules state that one
senator can block a nomination if the
nominee is from his or her home state.
Edwards’ press secretary Michael
Briggs said Helms is against appointing
new judges at this time because he is try
ing to preserve a conservative court in
case a Republican president is elected in
November. “At what point do we need
new judges?” Briggs said. “(Helms’)
answer is, ‘When there’s a Republican

help at the event
Jess Mekeel, a sophomore from UNC
who works for the department, was
there to help pass out cider and cookies.
Karen Berry, a recreation supervisor
for the department, said Carrboro has
been doing the event for about seven
years.
“This year we have managed to
attract about 300 people, which is a lot
more than we have had in years past,”
she said.
“The kids and their costumes have
helped to make the event an absolute
success.”

president.’”
Although he does not expect
Gibson’s nomination to be confirmed,
Briggs said Clinton’s recommendation
was important to show that North
Carolina deserves representation.
Gibson, a Raleigh native and Chapel
Hill resident, would be the first North
Carolina resident to sit on the 4th
Circuit since the death of Judge Sam J.
Ervin 111 more than a year ago.
After graduating from the UNC law
school in 1976, Gibson’s first job was as
a law clerk to a 4th Circuit Court judge,
before beginning work at UNC in 1983.
Gibson said she would bring this
experience to the appeals court. “It’s
useful to have someone with an acade
mic background," she said.
If the Senate does not confirm Clinton’s
nomination before adjournment, Gibson
said she will not be considered again until
after anew president is elected.
“We’ll just have to wait and see what
happens after that.”
