NOMINATION OF ROBIN L. ROSENBERG TO BE UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE FOR
THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF FLORIDA--Continued
The PRESIDING OFFICER. There is now 2 minutes equally divided prior
to a vote on the Rosenberg nomination.
The Senator from Florida.
Mr. NELSON. Madam President, just to remind the Senate, Senator Rubio
and I have the nonpartisan process of the Judicial Nomination
Commission for our Federal district judges. Robin Rosenberg is a
product of that. So I commend to the Senate this bipartisan nominee
from the two of us.
Judge Robin Rosenberg is from West Palm Beach, FL. She is a circuit
judge for the Fifteenth Judicial Circuit of Florida where she has
served since 2007. Prior to her service on the bench, she was a partner
at the law firm Rosenberg & McAuliffe from 2001 to 2006.
She worked as an attorney in many capacities including private
practice at Holland and Knight, an assistant city attorney for the City
of West Palm Beach and as a trial attorney in the Civil Rights Division
of the Justice Department. Judge Rosenberg began her legal career as a
law clerk for Judge James C. Paine of the U.S. District Court for the
Southern District of Florida. She received her juris doctor and a
master's degree in 1989 from Duke University and her B.A. in 1983 from
Princeton University.
Judge Robin Rosenberg has the support of Senator Rubio and myself,
and was found to be unanimously qualified by the American Bar
Association.
Mr. REID. Mr. President, I yield back all time.
The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, all time is yielded back.
The question is, Will the Senate advise and consent to the nomination
of Robin L. Rosenberg, of Florida, to be United States District Judge
for the Southern District of Florida.
Mr. WICKER. Mr. President, I ask for the yeas and nays.
The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there a sufficient second?
There is a sufficient second.
The clerk will call the roll.
The bill clerk called the roll.
The result was announced--yeas 100, nays 0, as follows:
