Durbin Delivers Opening Statement During Judiciary Committee Hearing On Three Judicial Nominations

Hearing

Date: Nov. 15, 2023
Location: Washington, D.C.
Issues: Government Operations

"Today, we will hear from three judicial nominees: Sara Hill, nominated to the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Oklahoma; John Russell, also nominated to the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Oklahoma; and Judge Ramona Manglona, nominated to serve a second ten-year term on the U.S. District Court for the Northern Mariana Islands. Congratulations to the nominees and their families."

Before I turn to Ranking Member Graham, I want to note that Ms. Hill and Mr. Russell each have received blue slips from both Republican home-state Senators--Senator Lankford, who is with us today, and Senator Mullin."

I thank these Senators for working with the White House in good faith to fill these vacancies. And thank all the other members on the Republican side who are doing the same. We are seeing similar progress in many states, and it is encouraging."
