The U.S. Senate voted Tuesday to end debate on President Barack Obama's most controversial circuit court nominee, as the Republican caucus fell short of maintaining a filibuster. A final vote to confirm Indiana federal Judge David Hamilton to the 7th Circuit is likely this week. Tuesday's 70-29 vote shows how polarized the Senate can still be on nominees for the federal bench, despite Obama's stated desire to call a truce on the highly politicized process.
