Democratic Senator Mark Udall has said that he will oppose David Barron’s nomination to the 1st Circuit Court of Appeals unless the White House complies with a recent *court order* to release to the public a redacted version of its legal justification for killing a U.S. citizen with a drone strike – a justification that was written by David Barron when he was at the Department of Justice’s Office of Legal Counsel.
