Dianne Feinstein's Return to Senate Sparks Progress for Biden's Judicial Nominees.

With the return of California Sen. Dianne Feinstein, Senate Democrats approved several judicial nominees out of the Judiciary Committee on Thursday that had been stalled in her absence. The committee approved six Biden judicial nominees on Thursday, three of them moving forward on a party-line vote, meaning Feinstein’s attendance was necessary for them to advance. However, the committee did not vote on former New Hampshire Attorney General Michael Delaney, President Joe Biden’s embattled selection for the 1st US Circuit Court of Appeals.
