Griffith to get vote

It now appears that BYU general counsel Thomas Griffith will finally get an up-or-down vote in the U.S. Senate on his nomination to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit. His nomination stalled last year while senators complained about Griffith's failure to pay bar dues in Washington, D.C., and failure to take the Utah bar exam.

Coincidentally, I am in Washington, D.C., this week. I do not, however, plan to attend the Senate on Tuesday to see the Griffith vote personally. Instead, I will be participating in a Journalism Educators seminar at the American Press Institute.
