Senate ends filibuster on Brown confirmation to Appeals Court
The Senate cleared California judge Janice Rogers Brown for a final confirmation vote to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia, ending a two year filibuster after a bipartisan deal to avert a larger showdown over judicial nominees. Supporters cite her as a strong pick and a potential future Supreme Court candidate, while critics warn her record signals conservative activism and limits on abortion rights and corporate liability.
