Early life and education

Judicial career
Federal judgeship nomination
Stranch was nominated by President Obama on August 7, 2009 to the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit to fill the vacancy left when Martha Daughtrey assumed senior status. [2]
Judiciary Committee hearing
Her hearing by the Senate Judiciary Committee was uneventful, with only two of the committee members (Amy Klobuchar and Jeff Sessions) present to question her. [4] The Committee voted 15-4 to forward her nomination to the full Senate. [5]
Stranch said: "I am very honored to be chosen. I bring a great deal of litigation experience in a number of different courts. I think that experience would be helpful." [6]
