The Senate Judiciary Committee set a hearing for April 16, 2010, at 10 a.m. regarding the confirmation of EDCA Magistrate Judge Kimberly Mueller to the district court bench in Sacramento. At the same hearing, the Judiciary Committee will also question the more-controversial (at least in some Republican circles) Goodwin Liu with respect to his 9th Circuit appointment.
