Biden has put forth a sixth circuit nominee in Ohio and a seventh circuit nominee in Indiana.

Remains to be seen if any non-Sherrod Brown home state senators will support them.

It looks like the article you posted that I responded to was right. Rachel Bloomekatz is a real home run pick. I'm assuming she has Portman's approval, which is quite surprising.

I'm really surprised with the 7th Circuit seat. I wasn't expecting either Indiana Senator to work with President Biden on filling that seat.

It looks like the pace is starting to pick up at the circuit court level. Hopefully no one lets up on the gas.

[Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.]

Any news on Michelle Kwan's nomination as Ambassador to Belize? Asking because I'm a figure skating fan, not because the position itself is that important.

Any news on Michelle Kwan's nomination as Ambassador to Belize? Asking because I'm a figure skating fan, not because the position itself is that important.

Hearings on that nomination were held on May 18th. She awaits a committee vote. I'm not sure how long it takes from that point to confirmation, especially for one of the lower-profile ambassadorships.


In other news, the nomination of Michelle Childs to the DC Circuit was approved by the Judiciary Committee by a 17-5 vote (with Grassley, Graham, Cornyn, Kennedy, Tillis, and Blackburn(!!) all voting to advance her nomination). Her confirmation vote should be interesting to watch for a number of reasons aside from the obvious. It's also worth noting that I could only find one circuit court nominee from President Biden that had Republican support outside of the usual three (those being Collins, Murkowski, and Graham) and that was actually Rick Scott voting for Judge Gustavo Gelpí for the Puerto Rico seat on the 1st Circuit. (I'm not including the Federal Circuit nominees, as that is a specialized court.)

Ah, thank you. I knew I was probably missing at least one. I was just looking at the Wikipedia page for confirmation votes that looked out of the ordinary. I wonder why he got Grassley's vote. On the other hand, it's not a great mystery why Rick Scott voted for Judge Gelpí.

The Kwan nomination is a good example of why advice & consent should be a veto. She was nominated in December and should have gotten started by now by default if the Senate can't be bothered.

I sort of understand Paul and Hawley's objections to Sullivan-Young, but what's Murkowski's objection here. She usually doesn't vote against Biden nominees, and certainly not nominees that most of ger caucus is voting for.
