WHAT WE’RE WATCHING
FLIPPIER - Peter Phipps goes before the Senate Judiciary Committee today as President Trump’s pick for the Third Circuit. Phipps, a Stanford Law grad who was nominated last year to his current spot as a district court judge for Pennsylvania’s Western District, was senior trial counsel in the federal programs branch at the DOJ’s civil division and spent three years as an associate at Jones Day. If confirmed, he would further deepen Trump’s flip of that circuit from Democrat to Republican following the confirmation in March of Paul Matey.
