Confirmation vote delay

"As the nation's capital struggled to get back to business after a big winter storm, the Senate postponed until Tuesday votes on two of President Obama's nominees." Including "a vote to confirm Joseph A. Greenaway to be judge for the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 3rd Circuit."

"Senate leaders decided to delay the votes to give senators an extra day to get back to Washington. A notice was sent to senators on Feb. 7."
