The Senate Judiciary Committee on Thursday unanimously approved the nomination of Laurie Smith Camp for the federal bench in Nebraska.

If confirmed, Camp would be the first woman to serve on the federal judiciary in the state. Camp, a deputy attorney general for Nebraska, would hear cases affecting the four tribes in the state.

The committee yesterday also approved Claire V. Eagan and James P. Payne as federal judges in Oklahoma. The committee held a confirmation hearing for Stephen P. Friot, again to the federal bench in Oklahoma.

Republicans are currently blocking legislation in order to speed up consideration of President Bush's judicial nominees.
