Judiciary Committee delays vote on Lamont nominee for Supreme Court.

Career federal prosecutor Sandra Slack Glover faced serious headwinds during a marathon confirmation hearing Monday. Glover struggled to provide a convincing explanation of her effusive 2017 letter in support of Amy Coney Barrett’s nomination to the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals.

The letter was first reported by Daily Ructions on April 25th, the day Governor Ned Lamont nominated Glover to the high court.

Members met in closed party caucuses after more than six hours—with a break for lunch—of questioning. The members emerged shortly before 7 p.m. to begin a committee meeting that included a vote on Glover on its agenda. House co-chair Steven Stafstrom announced the vote on Glover’s nomination was postponed.

Getting the Glover nomination across the finish line may become a test of Lamont’s new team.
