Even with just two months lefts in this Congress, the Senate Judiciary Committee is still holding hearings for judicial nominations. A hearing Wednesday will include Eric Miller, nominated to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit, even though his home-state senators, Democrats Patty Murray and Maria Cantwell of Washington, oppose him. Murray and Cantwell are trying to prevent the committee from even considering his nomination. But, thanks to Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, this gambit will fail.
