Senate Judiciary Committee Approves Smith

Thursday, Sept. 20, the Senate Judiciary Committee voted 10-8, along party lines to approve the nomination of Norman Randy Smith to the Ninth Circuit. According to a Sept. 21 Congressional Quarterly article Sen. Feinstein stated "If I have to filibuster this judge, I will do so." Why does she want to filibuster Smith? Because he is not from California.

The Committee also debated the nomination of William Myers, but took no action. No action was taken on the other three nominees, namely Boyle, Haynes and Wallace.
