Complete title "Obama nominates Sen. Tim Johnson's son to be U.S. Attorney for South Dakota" wouldn't fit!


Talk about some upset South Dakotans in the "comment" box

WASHINGTON -- The White House has nominated Brendan Johnson, the son of U.S. Sen. Tim Johnson, to serve as U.S. Attorney for South Dakota.

The Obama administration announced Johnson's nomination on Friday. Sen. Tim Johnson, a Democrat, has said he would not be part of the nomination process.

The senior congressional delegation member of the president's political party typically puts forth a name for consideration.

The younger Johnson said because his family connection removed that usual link, he sought the support of South Dakotans of both political parties and sent the application directly to the new administration.

Johnson is a 34-year-old partner with the Sioux Falls law firm of Johnson, Heidepriem, Abdallah and Johnson, which he joined in 2005.
