Andrew Hurwitz
Ninth Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals
Arizona Supreme Court Justice Andrew Hurwitz’s nomination to the Ninth Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals was confirmed on a June 12, 2012 Voice Vote following a 60-31 cloture vote to end a filibuster the previous day. He had the ”wholehearted support” of both of his home-state senators, Arizona Republicans Jon Kyl and John McCain. On March 1, 2012, the Senate Judiciary Committee approved Hurwitz’s nomination on a 13-5 vote, with the bipartisan support of all Democratic senators and GOP Sens. Kyl, Lindsey Graham (SC) and Tom Coburn (OK). Sen. Kyl said that the committee’s “overwhelming vote . . . will help to ensure that he (Hurwitz) will come up on the Senate floor in a timely fashion.”
