Desai (9th Cir.) confirmed 67-29:

Yep - Dems think moving this one up in line will make Sinema vote for IRA, GOP thinks being nice on this will help her be willing to vote No....
This one is puzzling to me. I can't recall the last time a circuit court judge was confirmed without cloture vote. I don't think it's happened with a Biden nominee before today. Desai looks to be an great nominee too.
On the other hand, unfortunately, Rachel Bloomekatz will require a discharge vote. I suppose that should have been expected since she'll basically be primed for consideration for a future SCOTUS vacancy. The conservative equivalent would probably be Justin Walker.

I recall at least 2 under Trump - both IL nominees.
As I said, it's purely a Sinema reconcillation bribing technique for both sides - Desai is from AZ. For whom will it work, we'll have to wait and see.

Knowing Sinema, probably the Republicans.
