Nomination of Arthur Roberts Jones (Executive Calendar)

The Senate debated the nomination of Arthur Roberts Jones to be a federal district judge for the Southern District of Texas. Senator Durbin spoke in opposition, saying Jones belonged to a gun-rights organization he described as far-right and had not clearly answered questions about whether he believes gun safety laws are constitutional, and said he would vote no. The nomination was scheduled for a confirmation vote.Written by AI from the debate. Updated .
