Kavanaugh Confirmed
Posted by Gianni on May 26th, 2006
White House lawyer Brett Kavanaugh has been confirmed as a federal appeals judge after waiting for 3 years. Democrats have opposed his confirmation because of his conservative philosophy, but the 7 Democrats in the “Gang of 14″ agreed
not to filibuster if there was a Second Judiciary Committee hearing.
This is good news, we need good constitutionalist judges in our courts. Hopefully we can get some more of the judicial nominees confirmed that have been waiting. One has to wonder however if this push on nominees is a play by the Senate for conservative votes this November.
Update: Allah Pundit has links to the roll:
Byrd, Carper, Landrieu, and Nelson from Nebraska voted with the GOP to confirm. Otherwise it was party line.
