Nomination of Benjamin M. Flowers
The Senate debated the nomination of Benjamin M. Flowers to serve on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit. The Senate voted to confirm him. In floor remarks after the vote, Senator Durbin, a Democrat, said he had voted against the nomination, citing Flowers’s past work defending strict abortion bans, efforts to challenge mail-in ballots from the 2020 election, and arguments against birthright citizenship, which Durbin characterized as an extreme right-wing record.Written by AI from the debate.
