Charles Griffin reports on his Minority Defense Litigator Blog that on Thursday Justice James Graves will get his Senate Judiciary Committee vote for his appointment to the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals. Here is a Sun-Herald story on the vote.
This is one of the steps in Graves’ confirmation process. After he clears the committee he has to wait for a vote by the full Senate. I’m not getting any intel on when the Senate vote might take place.
Carlton Reeves is still waiting for his full Senate vote. He cleared the Senate Judiciary Committee in August. Graves’ wait for a Senate vote could be shorter–or longer. As Gulfport’s Homer Dedeaux used to say: “that’s politics, coach.”
