And the DJ reports: Trump 9th Circuit nominee clears key hurdle in the U.S. Senate: "Senators voted 50-42 along party lines to invoke cloture on the nomination of Daniel Aaron Bress, a Washington, D.C.-based partner at Kirkland & Ellis LLP who has been tapped to fill the seat left vacant by former Judge Alex Kozinski" "If confirmed, Bress will be Trump's seventh successful pick for the 9th Circuit, meaning 12 of the court's 29 active judgeships will be filled by Republican appointees."
