The Senate on Tuesday ended a two-year filibuster of California Judge Janice Rogers Brown, clearing for final vote her nomination to the U.S. Appeals Court and hewing closely to a historic deal to avert a partisan showdown over judicial filibusters.
By a vote of 65 to 32, Brown’s nomination for the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit was cleared for a final floor vote, expected today.
