Bill to name courthouse after Justice Hatchett in jeopardy
Justice Joseph Hatchett
An attempt to name a federal courthouse in Tallahassee in honor of civil rights pioneer and former Supreme Court Justice Joseph W. Hatchett has suffered a near-fatal blow in the U.S. House.
HR 4771 by North Florida Democratic Congressman Al Lawson failed on March 31 to muster a two-thirds majority needed for fast-track approval.
