It’s a new year in Washington, D.C. Back on Dec. 19, 2013, President Barack Obama nominated his first Texan, U.S. District Judge Gregg Costa of Galveston, to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit. Today, despite U.S. Sen. John Cornyn’s massive differences with the president over just about everything, the Lone Star State’s senior senator blessed that nomination.
“I have a lot of confidence in Judge Costa,” said Cornyn, a Senate Judiciary Committee member. He and former U.S. Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison “recommended him for a district court nomination, and we are working very closely with the White House,” Cornyn said. “I support the nomination,” he added. “He’s a solid appointment.”
