Joe Biden First Pitch
{Thanks, Baltimore Sun}
You may have missed it but Vice President Joe Biden spent some time in Charm City on Monday as part of Orioles Opening Day. The VP threw out the first pitch and became the first sitting Vice President to do so.
An honor of a different kind for a Baltimore native.

Judge Andre Davis
{Thanks, Baltimore Sun}
While abroad on his 8 day trip to Europe, President Obama made some news here locally when he nominated federal judge and Baltimore native Andre Davis to a spot on the nation’s Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals.
Why it matters? Being nominated to a federal appeals court is kind of a big deal. There are only 13 federal appeals courts. Appeals court judges are also often seen as potential nominees to the Supreme Court of the United States.
About Judge Davis:
Davis was born here in Baltimore in 1949.
He’s a 1978 graduate of the University of Maryland School of Law.
He was an attorney at the Department of Justice in Washington and then served as an Assistant U.S. Attorney for the Maryland before beginning his judicial career.
He was a judge on Baltimore’s district and circuit court two state courts for seven years before then President Clinton nominated him to become a federal judge.
Clinton also tried to appoint Davis to the Fourth Circuit back in 2000, but the Senate never confirmed that appointment.
There’s hope that this time around Davis will be confirmed by the Senate.
