Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, commended two nominees for U.S. district courts in the Lone Star State today for having “boring” confirmation hearings, where Cruz himself was the only senator on the dais.
“I think it's a testament to your qualifications, that each senator, having reviewed them, was impressed,” Cruz said at the hearing before the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee, adding that one colleague told him about being wowed by the nominees. “Those are not compliments given lightly.”
The hearing is one step in the confirmation process for Jeffrey Brown, nominated to be a U.S. district judge for the Southern District of Texas in Galveston, and Brantley Starr, who's nominated to serve as a U.S. district judge for the Northern District of Texas. President Donald Trump nominated them to the bench on March 8.
