Controversial Judge Griffith Confirmed

HeadlineApr 15, 2005

The Senate Judiciary Committee voted yesterday to send one of President Bush’s controversial judicial nominees to a vote in the full Senate. Thomas Griffith would serve on second most-powerful court in the country. Only 4 Democrats on the committee opposed his nomination. Griffith had been criticized by Sen. Patrick Leahy for not obtaining a law license in Utah five years ago, and for practicing with an expired license in Washington, D.C. without telling his clients.
