Robert Luck testifies before the Senate Judiciary Committee during his confirmation hearing to be U.S. Circuit Judge for the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals, on Oct. 16.
The Senate on Tuesday voted to confirm a Florida State Supreme Court justice to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit and advanced another state justice for a seat on the same court, as the circuit is set to flip to a majority of GOP-appointed judges.
The Senate voted 64-31 to confirm the state justice, Robert J. Luck, to the 11th Circuit seat. The body also voted 80-15 to invoke cloture for the nomination of fellow justice Barbara Lagoa, teeing her up for a Wednesday confirmation vote.
