Senator Specter says that there will be a hearing tomorrow for Thomas B. Griffith, a vote on William Myers on Thursday, and a hearing for Brett Kavanaugh next week. Neither Griffith nor Kavanaugh had previously been filibustered. Specter reportedly has "no willingness to accelerate an anticipated partisan showdown over judicial nominees."

Besides Myers, the other previously filibustered renominees are William Pryor, Janice Rogers Brown, Priscilla Owen, Richard Griffin, Henry Saad, and David McKeague. No word on when their committee votes will be, although Specter says that Pryor will not need another hearing.
