Signed by Honorable Matthew W. Brann on 11/10/2020. (jr) Judge Brann is a Republican, appointed by Obama.  Here is an excerpt from his Senate nomination hearing. Senator FEINSTEIN. Senator Grassley pointed out that you have been a member of the leadership of the Pennsylvania Republican Party, and I think that is just fine. You were a member of the party’s Judicial Evaluation Panel, its Judicial Selection and Review Committee. You are a member of the Federalist Society—and I have voted for judges that are members of the Federalist Society—and the National Rifle Association. So you are a very active Republican, probably the most Republican judicial nominee from the Obama White House, I think. Could you please describe the nature of your work in the Pennsylvania Republican Party and Republican political campaigns and describe your work on the Judicial Evaluation Panel and how you believe—and you answered this question of Senator Grassley I thought to some extent. Can you, in fact, separate what has been strong political views and activism from your role as an impartial decisionmaker? Mr. BRANN. Yes, well, let me try to answer those questions in order, Senator Feinstein, if I may. I became involved and interested in Republican politics when I came out of law school, and I was interested even then, even in college. And my views are basically conservative views, I think. And when I came back to my rural county, I was invited to be involved in Republican politics, served on the county committee, and then that eventually evolved into being involved in the State committee roles and activities. And I just enjoyed it. I enjoyed meeting people there. My particular interest in that was interest in judicial candidates. I was interested in finding, selecting, and promoting good candidates, whether they were lower-court judges or attorneys, who were interested in running—in Pennsylvania, all judges are elected, as you may be aware, and those interested, parties interested in running for the appellate judiciary. And I come from a rural area which does not frequently have a lot of candidates for the appellate judiciary. Those candidates frequently come from the two large urban areas, Philadelphia and Pittsburgh. So I was interested in promoting competent attorneys and competent judges from the rural or the small-city areas to sit on the bench at the appellate level, and I think I did that with some level of success. You know, you never know what you are going to get, of course, as a judge, and that is your concern here, I think. What are you ultimately going to get? Anybody can make commitments to the committee, but how is it ultimately going to play out? I am very appreciative of that because I was very interested in that particular role, and I tried to select people that I thought had the right temperament, good educational backgrounds, had experience, and that I thought would be interested—people that I would want to appear before myself, because I am an active advocate at local trial courts and, of course, in the appellate judiciary. I am moving into, potentially moving into a different role entirely, and that is a role not as an advocate. I am an advocate for clients, and I have been an advocate for others seeking judicial office and other political office. That is done, or will be done shortly, I hope. And my role, I think, as a judge is to simply compartmentalize and say, yes, I have, I think, fairly firm political views on a variety of issues, including some of the matters that you have referenced in your earlier question. My job is to factor that out, and I think that is actually the most difficult role as a judge, frankly, to not bring your own personal views to bear, because, frankly, what confidence would the public have ultimately if you did that? I mean, they would think this person should not really be a judge, they do not have the temperament, they do not have the wisdom to be a judge. I hope that I would ultimately have those traits on the bench, and I give you as much assurance as I can that that is what I would seek to do. Otherwise, I simply would not have made application for this position. You had a number of questions in there, and I hope I have answered those in the right order.  Senator FEINSTEIN. I think you did. I actually find you believable, too. [Laughter.] Mr. BRANN. Well, thank you, Senator. I appreciate that. Brann was unanimously confirmed in the Senate by voice vote.  This is his first judicial position.
