Souter Clears Path for Senate Confirmation Vote
Supreme Court nominee David Souter faces an easy Senate vote after a 13-1 Judiciary Committee endorsement led by Joseph Biden. Despite broad support, doubts remain about his stance on civil liberties and privacy as Kennedy opposes and Metzenbaum urges caution. Bush praised the action but Yom Kippur timing delays full confirmation before the term begins.
