FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 2003 The Senate Judiciary Committee voted mostly along party lines on Thursday to approve one of President Bush's most controversial judicial nominees. Jeffrey Sutton is an Ohio lawyer picked to sit on the 6th Circuit Court of Appeals. His law firm wrote a Supreme Court brief for the National Congress of American Indians in the Navajo Nation's breach of trust case and did the same for the state of Nevada in the Hicks case, which expanded state police powers over Indian Country. Democrats are still filibustering another appeals court nominee, Miguel Estrada for the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals. They want to see memos he drafted while working on Supreme Court cases for the Department of Justice. Get the Story:
