Coalition Letter to Sen Reid on Judge Wald's Reconfirmation to PCLOB (December 2013)

The Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board (PCLOB) is charged with a significant role in the evaluation of classified intelligence programs. ... Yet if Judge Wald’s confirmation is delayed beyond the Senate’s adjournment sine die, she will be forced to step down. See 42 U.S.C. 2000e (h)(4)(B)(ii). This would unbalance and cripple the PCLOB at just the time when the administration, Congress, and the public are awaiting the board’s findings.
