Senate approves Pryor and McKeague Griffin for appeals seats
The GOP led Senate confirmed William Pryor for the 11th Circuit by 53 to 45, and David McKeague and Richard Griffin for the 6th Circuit by 96 to 0 and 95 to 0 respectively. Bush praised the up or down votes after a period of delay and partisan filibuster concerns. Separately, the Miami area case allowed four of six intercepted Cuban migrants to stay with documents while the others were to be repatriated. Tropical Storm Arlene threatened south Florida with heavy rain flooding and possible tornadoes though it is unlikely to become a hurricane. A flood watch covered the southern tip of the state as Arlene neared the coast.

The U S Catholic Church has paid or reserved at least 1.06 billion dollars since 1950 for settlements, legal fees, and counseling related to priest abuse. A recent 120 million dollar fund in Covington pushed the total past one billion, with many claims still pending and costs rising in coming years.
