Curtis P. Miller M.S.

Two months ago, I stood alongside President Obama as he announced my nomination to the U.S. Supreme Court. Needless to say, it was a great honor. I’ve spent 30 years in public service, and without a doubt, the proudest moment of my career came that day in the White House Rose Garden when the president introduced me as his choice to join the highest court in the land. I remain truly grateful to him for this opportunity, and to all those in my life who helped me get to where I am today.

Quick question, though: Anyone know what I’m supposed to be doing right now?

There were a lot of interviews and briefings leading up to my selection as the nominee, and I sort of assumed things would just keep moving right along, but that hasn’t been the case. Not sure if you’ve noticed, but things have kind of quieted down lately, nomination-wise. Over the past nine weeks, I’ve paid visits to quite a few senators, and I’d be happy to keep that up if need be—more than happy, really. I guess what I’m wondering is whether there’s anything else I ought to be doing on my end to get the ball rolling. Should I make a few calls to members of the Judiciary Committee or something? Or should I just hang tight? Any direction on this would be really helpful.
