The Senate Judiciary Committee held a confirmation hearing to consider several judicial nominees, including Eric Murphy and Chad Readler to sit on the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals. Mr. Murphy was serving as the solicitor general of Ohio, and Mr. Readler previously served as the acting assistant attorney general for the Civil Rights Division.
