Solicitor general pick Elizabeth Prelogar poised for approval despite ‘flipflopping’ charge
WASHINGTON – President Joe Biden’s pick to represent the federal government at the Supreme Court is poised for confirmation despite Republican criticism that she abandoned legal positions staked out by the Trump administration before the high court.
Elizabeth Prelogar, who Biden nominated to be solicitor general in August, has sailed through her confirmation process, avoiding the bitter partisan brawls that accompanied some of his other Justice Department nominees. Senate Democrats on Mondayqueued up a vote on Prelogar for later this week.
