Ind. Courts - Senate Judiciary committee approves Tinder nomination to 7th Circuit

Maureen Groppe of the Star Washington Bureau reports this afternoon:

WASHINGTON - The Senate Judiciary Committee today unanimously approved U.S. District Judge John Daniel Tinder's nomination to the federal appeals court.
The Indianapolis native must still be voted on by the full Senate.

Tinder was unanimously confirmed for his current position, which he's held since 1987, and when he was nominated to be U.S. attorney for Indiana's southern district in 1984. * * *

Tinder's nomination had the bipartisan support of Indiana senators Richard Lugar, a Republican, and Evan Bayh, a Democrat.

If approved by the Senate, Tinder would replace retiring Judge Daniel A. Manion on the 7th U.S . Circuit Court of Appeals.
