NEW: "Tucson Day" In Senate Judiciary Committee - Two Nominees For District Court Bench Receive Hearings

Both of the Pima County Superior Court judges nominated by President Donald Trump for spots on the U.S. District Court bench will receive their committee hearings in the U.S. Senate tomorrow morning.

Judges Scott Rash and John Hinderaker will come before the Judiciary Committee (8am MST, although an Appeals Court nominee will be questioned first) as part of a five-nominee panel. The hearing can be live-streamed here.

Rash was nominated in September for the lifetime position, and Hinderaker on November 6. (For more on the two judges, pleasehere and here.) The picks have been praised by Arizona Senators, Martha McSally and Kyrsten Sinema.

review our previous articles,

The Judiciary Committee will vote on whether to recommend the nominees to the entire Senate for confirmation at a later date. (Arizona's Law will continue to keep readers updated on the process.)

(Thanks, as always, to Judicial Nominations Blog for giving us early notice on the hearing.)
