Senate panel approves Biden’s first slate of judicial nominees

Washington — The Senate Judiciary Committee on Thursday approved its first group of President Biden’s judicial nominees, setting up votes from the full Senate on two of his picks to the federal circuit courts and three to the U.S. district courts.

The panel advanced the nomination of Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson to the influential U.S. Court of Appeals to the District of Columbia Circuit by a vote of 13 to 9, as well as Candace Jackson-Akiwumi to the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals by a near party-line vote of 12-10. 

The Democratic-led committee also gave bipartisan approval of the nominations of Judge Zahid Quraishi and Julien Neals to the U.S. district court in New Jersey, and Regina Rodriguez to the federal district court in Colorado.

Senators Lindsey Graham of South Carolina and John Cornyn of Texas were the only Republicans to join their Democratic colleagues in supporting Jackson’s nomination, while Graham was the lone GOP senator who voted to advance Jackson-Akiwumi’s nomination.

Jackson, currently a judge on the federal district court in D.C., is considered a frontrunner for the Supreme Court if a vacancy arises. If confirmed by the Senate, she will fill the seat on the D.C. Circuit vacated by now-Attorney General Merrick Garland.

Quraishi, meanwhile, would make history if his nomination is approved by the Senate as the first Muslim-American federal judge in U.S. history.

New Franklin restaurant Egg and Cheese serves diner-style breakfast and lunch

FRANKLIN — For some time, Hannah Dupuis has wanted to own her own restaurant. With money she saved up during the pandemic, and a vacant roadside stand, she made her dream a reality.

“I didn’t know exactly what I wanted to do, but I knew I wanted to be in the food industry, and own my own establishment, and be my own boss,” Dupuis said, as she has spent 12 years as a waitress.

The white and sunny yellow Egg and Cheese stand opened bright and early on Monday, as the hours are 6 a.m. to 2 p.m. weekdays. As the name suggests, Egg and Cheese serves breakfast food, like egg sandwiches, and a few lunch options as well, including tuna sandwiches.

Across Connecticut: As reopening happens, there’s a lack of restaurant and hospitality employees

Egg and Cheese recently opened on Route 32 in Franklin.

The stand is located at 892 Route 32 in Franklin, next to Raymond’s Auto Repair. Part of the reason why it’s there is because an employee with the garage offered her the stand, which Dupuis said used to have Spanish food. The other reason is that Dupuis, who is also a Mohegan Sun employee, said many people travel along Route 32 for work, but there are only so many food options along the route.

“I’m looking for quick breakfast food, and the only options really are Dunkin’ Donuts and stuff like that, so I wanted to do something a little bit different,” Dupuis said.

Dupuis said she was drawn to diner-style food partly from personally liking it and from it being a style of cooking that doesn’t need many people to make, as the…
