Senate Judiciary Committee votes for David Barlow for federal judgeship in Utah

Washington • The Senate Judiciary Committee on Thursday advanced the nomination of David Barlow to be a judge for the federal district court in Utah.

Lee on Thursday lavished praise on Barlow, whom he has known since they both attended the American Legion's Boys Nation as teens and later in classes at Brigham Young University.

“We have full confidence that David will serve Utah and the country with honor and integrity, faithfully applying the law and our Constitution to all matters and parties that come before him,” Lee and Romney said in a joint statement.
