The Holmes committee vote for the Arkansas Judgeship went the way it was predicted. NRO >>>"I want to say at the outset that I am well aware that there are sincerely held concerns here in the Committee about Mr. Holmes's nomination, which my colleagues expressed at our last [meeting]," Hatch said this morning. "There are concerns about some of his public stands as a citizen, including some editorials and articles he has written. As I said at the [meeting], I have to admit that I am also concerned about some of those comments. They trouble me as well....Given the concerns that Mr. Holmes's nomination has generated, I have decided that the most prudent way to proceed on his nomination is to move directly to a vote without recommendation." Hatch also noted that Holmes has broad, bi-partisan support in Arkansas, including that of his home state's two Democratic senators. In the end, Holmes was reported out of committee without recommendation on a ten-to-nine, straight party line vote. nationalreview.com
