Griffith hearing (again)

Legal Times reports that the Senate Judiciary Committee today heard testimony from BYU general counsel Tom Griffith regarding his nomination to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit.

The story concludes:

Because the Judiciary Committee has two more Republicans than Democrats, Griffith's nomination is expected to clear the committee as early as next week. But it is unclear whether Senate Democrats will decide to filibuster the nominee and, if they do, whether his supporters can muster the requisite 60 votes needed to cut off debate and bring Griffith's nomination to an up or down majority vote.
