Both the Senate and House are scheduled to end their work weeks with a relatively light day. The Senate is expected to take up the nomination of Nusrat Jahan Choudhury to be United States District Judge for the Eastern District of New York and also vote on a Motion to invoke cloture on the nomination of Julie Rikelman to be United States Circuit Judge for the First Circuit. When the senate goes into recess, it will next convene on Tuesday, June 20th.
The House is wrapping up its week by considering H.R. 288 – Separation of Powers Restoration Act of 2023, which would authorize federal courts that review agency actions to decide all relevant questions of law, including the interpretation of constitutional and statutory provisions and rules, without deferring to previous legal determinations by the agency. The House will next convene on Tuesday, June 20th for votes.
