The Senate on Thursday confirmed U.S. District Judge David Hamilton for the Chicago-based federal appeals court, approving a nominee targeted by conservatives as a liberal activist.

Hamilton was approved on a 59-39 vote and became the eighth of President Barack Obama's judicial nominees to win confirmation.

Hamilton has received the American Bar Association's highest rating.

Well, better late than never!

Thanks for the news.

This man is a fine jurist.

I cannot imagine why Republicans in the Senate blocked this for so long.

Because they could.
