Good judge voted in...

After well over two years, the United States Senate just confirmed William Pryor to the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals.

A former law clerk for the legendary civil rights advocate--John Minor Wisdom--Judge Pryor was overwhelmingly re-elected to serve as the Attorney General for the state of Alabama in 2002.

His service gained him national respect in the legal profession, and he was later appointed by President Bush (recess appointment) in February 2004 to serve on the 11th Circuit.

Twice his nomination has come to the floor for a cloture vote. And, twice, Democrats used obstructionist tactics to block a fair vote. They made countless attempts to tarnish his reputation and distort his record.

And they failed.

Today, William Pryor got his vote.

He got the respect he deserves--that all judicial nominees deserve.

William Pryor got an up or down vote on the Senate floor.

A renowned defender of individual liberty and a noted champion of racial reconciliation, this successful vote ensures that William Pryor will continue to serve with distinction on the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals.

Just as Priscilla Owen will on the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals.

Just as Janice Rogers Brown will on the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals.

This vote marks another blow to the Democrats' campaign of partisan obstruction...and another victory for the principle of fair up or down votes for judicial nominees.

More such victories to follow...
Bill Frist

...and two more of President Bush's judicial nominees confirmed.

I'm proud to report that the United States Senate confirmed Richard Griffin and David McKeague to the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals.

Judge McKeague was nominated on November 8, 2001. Judge Griffin was nominated June 26, 2002.

For years, both were denied fair up or down votes.

At long last, they got their votes.

Lifelong residents of Michigan, they are highly regarded as two of the state's most renowned jurists.

McKeague has served with distinction on the U.S. District Court for the Western District; Griffin on the state Court of Appeals for the Fourth District.

They have extensive legal experience, and have both been rated "well-qualified" by the American Bar Association.

They fill two vital seats that had previously been declared judicial emergencies.

And they join Judge Owen, Judge Brown and Judge Pryor as nominees who had been filibustered in the last Congress, but now - thanks to the principle of up or down votes - they got the fairness, the courtesy, and the respect they deserve.

More votes to follow in the days ahead...
