Congratulations to Raymond Lohier! On Sunday, he was confirmed as a Second Circuit judge. Have to say, certainly did take awhile for the Senate to confirm such an uncontroversial nominee.
This post over at BLT states that the Second Circuit is now "Back in Democrats' Hands." Technically that's true as there are now six judges who were appointed by Democratic presidents compared to 5 Republican appointees. But I am not quite sure what that means in reality. Or at least in the reality known as habeasland. Didn't seem to provide much help in Portalatin, where only one of those Democrats voted for petitioner.
There are still two Second Circuit nominations pending before the Senate: Chatigny and Carney. If I hear anything about either, I'll share the news.
