“Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) returned to her post on the Senate Judiciary Committee on Thursday and greenlit the passage of three judicial nominees that had been stalled during her lengthy health-related absence,” The Hill reports.
“Feinstein appeared roughly 90 minutes into the meeting to an ovation from senators and staff, and the nomination votes were held shortly after, putting the nominees on track for votes on the Senate floor in the coming weeks.”
