President Obama’s nominee to be a judge on the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals, Srikanth Srinivasan, will face a hearing at the Senate Judiciary Committee next Wednesday, April 10 at 2:30 P.M., according to the committee.
Srinivasan, the top U.S. Deputy Solicitor General, was nominated last summer. His Senate hearings come shortly after threatened Republican filibusters forced the withdrawal of Caitlin Halligan to the coveted court. Four of 11 seats are vacant on the D.C. Circuit, having been mired by filibusters.
