Editing Michael Chertoff (section)

===Federal judicial service===
On March 5, 2003, Chertoff was nominated by President Bush to a seat on the [[United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit]] vacated by [[Morton I. Greenberg]]. He was confirmed by the Senate 88–1 on June 9, 2003, with Senator Hillary Clinton of New York casting the lone dissenting vote; he received his commission the following day. Senator Clinton said that she had dissented to register her protest for the way Chertoff's staff mistreated junior White House staffers during the Whitewater investigation.<ref name="observe">{{cite news|url=http://observer.com/2005/01/hillarys-nemesis-mean-mike-chertoff-is-up-for-homeland/|title=Hillary's Nemesis, Mean Mike Chertoff, Is Up for Homeland|last=Ratner|first=Lizzy|date=January 16, 2005|publisher=The New York Observer|access-date=October 15, 2008}}</ref> Chertoff served as a federal judge from 2003 to 2005.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/Inauguration/story?id=402614|title=Profile: Secretary of Homeland Security Michael Chertoff|website=ABC News}}</ref>
