The big news on the judicial nominations front is, of course, the nomination of Judge Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court. Following her hearings last week, the Senate Judiciary Committee will be holding an executive business meeting tomorrow, when it is expected to vote her nomination out to the full Senate, along with those of four district-court nominees and a federal claims-court nominee. Yesterday, Majority Leader Mitch McConnell filed a cloture motion for Southern District of Ohio nominee Michael Newman, so we expect at least one more judicial confirmation to occur this week.
McConnell has also announced a Senate floor vote for Judge Barrett on Monday, October 26. Upon her confirmation, her Seventh Circuit seat would become vacant. There are no other federal appellate vacancies at this time.
