"Senate Republicans are heading into four votes this week to confirm appeals court judges.
Majority Leader Mitch McConnell served notice late last week that the Senate will consider four of President Donald Trump’s nominees to federal circuit courts, the powerful appeals panels that give the final word on the overwhelming majority of cases in U.S. courts.
The nominees are:
—Michigan Supreme Court Justice Joan Larsen for the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, the Cincinnati-based appeals court.
—Colorado Supreme Court Justice Allison Eid for the 10th Circuit, the Denver-based appeals court.
—Notre Dame Law School professor Amy Coney Barrett for the 7th Circuit, the Chicago-based appeals court.
—University of Pennsylvania Law School professor Stephanos Bibas for the 3rd Circuit, the Philadelphia-based appeals court."
