Law - "Judiciary Panel Holds Over Johnsen Again"
Andrew Ramonas reports at Main Justice:
The Senate Judiciary Committee today again did not act on President Obama’s pick to lead the Justice Department Office of Legal Counsel, according to a panel spokesperson. She was held over from the committee’s meeting last week.The committee lost its quorum — and its ability to conduct business — before it could vote today on OLC nominee Dawn Johnsen, committee spokesperson Erica Chabot said. The panel will likely consider her nomination again on Feb. 25. The Senate will not be in session next week for the Presidents’ Day holiday. * * *
But the committee did approve DOJ Bureau of Justice Statistics nominee James P. Lynch by voice vote, according to Chabot.
