Georgia Supreme Court Justice Britt Grant, nominated to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit, sailed through her U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee confirmation hearing Wednesday, though the panel has not yet voted on her nomination.
To begin, she was introduced by Georgia Republican Sen. Johnny Isakson, who said he’d been friends since high school with her parents—who were present along with her sister, her husband, Justin (formerly with the CIA for 10 years, and now with IBM), and other family members, friends and former colleagues.
