Last night Senator Reid filed cloture on Carnes (candidate for the 11th) and Rosenberg (candidate for the SDFLA). Glenn Sugameli tells me that this means a final vote on these two judges is likely to occur early next week. (Note that no cloture filed on Pryor or Boggs).
UPDATE -- The full Senate vote for Carnes will be Monday and then the District Judges on Tuesday. Also my statement above re Boggs is a bit off. He has not yet been voted out of committee.
The SDFLA Blog is dedicated to providing news and notes regarding federal practice in the Southern District of Florida. The New Times calls the blog "the definitive source on South Florida's federal court system." All tips on court happenings are welcome and will remain anonymous.

Quoting, in a way, our fellow blogger at Hercules and the Umpire, cloture is when Senator Reid tells the Republicans in the Senate to STFU and vote.
ReplyDeleteYou can trace the origins of STFU and Cloture to Thomas Jefferson doing the same thing to the Whigs. Or something like that.
