Openly lesbian Georgetown University Law Professor Chai Feldblum is among the 15 administration nominees appointed Saturday by President Barack Obama in his first recess appointments since taking office. Feldblum has been appointed to be a commissioner on the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.
A key Senate committee voted in favor of Feldblum’s nomination in December, four months after being nominated by Obama, but Republicans have since blocked a full Senate vote.
