A group of 21 influential US lawmakers has demanded confirmation of Indian-American legal luminary Srikanth Sri Srinivasan’s nomination to the country’s second highest court.
The demand was made in a letter sent yesterday to the Senate Majority leader Harry Reid by the lawmakers, led by Indian-American Congressman Ami Bera, in support of Srinivasan’s nomination to the DC Circuit Court. Srinivasan, if confirmed, would become the first South Asian to serve as a federal circuit court judge.
