Senators didn’t exactly extend themselves with the floor schedule for their first week back in session in August, though they did confirm another pair of President Donald Trump’s nominees to be judges on the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals: A. Marvin Quattlebaum Jr. and Julius Ness Richardson.

Quattlebaum was confirmed Thursday on a 62-28 vote, while Richardson got by on an 81-8 vote.

The heavier lift will come next week.
