After months of languishing on the U.S. Senate calendar, Judge James A. Wynn Jr. was confirmed this evening to the U.S. 4th Circuit Court of Appeals, a position for which he was first nominated in the mid-1990s.
Wynn, 56, was confirmed as part of a procedural move known as “unanimous consent,” in which a senator proposes a motion on the Senate floor. If there is no objection from other senators, the motion passes. Such moves provide little drama on the surface, but are usually the product of intense negotiation between Republican and Democratic leaders. (Source: News & Observer)
Note: Damn it is about time. Judge Wynn is an excellent choice and should have been confirmed years ago. But we all know the story. C. Dancy II – DCN Publisher
