Progress Continues on Nominees in Senate
February 28, 2019
‘On Tuesday, Eric Miller became the 31st circuit court judge confirmed under this administration. Yesterday, we confirmed Michael Desmond to serve as chief counsel at the IRS. Of course, this progress is only remarkable given Senate Democrats’ historic obstruction. As I noted yesterday, for example, Mr. Desmond’s nomination earned near-unanimous approval from the Finance Committee in August of last year, but only this week received a vote here on the Senate floor.’
