By a 73-24 vote, the Senate on Tuesday confirmed Thomas S. Griffith for the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit, a seat the Bush Administration was originally eyeing for filibustered lawyer Miguel Estrada. Republicans have called Griffith "an excellent nominee," but Democrats have opposed him, saying his refusal to get a Utah law license should have disqualified him. Griffith is the sixth judge that the Senate has elevated to the federal appeals courts in the last month.
