Nashville attorney Waverly Crenshaw Jr. sailed through his Senate confirmation hearing today, and his appointment to the federal bench seems likely to receive strong bipartisan support, the Tennessean reports. Crenshaw, a partner at Waller Lansden Dortch and Davis, was nominated in February by President Barack Obama to become a U.S. district judge in Tennessee's Middle District. If confirmed by the full Senate for the lifetime post, Crenshaw would replace U.S. District Judge William Joseph Haynes Jr., who took senior status in December.
