Most recently, LaCour served our great state as Solicitor General, representing Alabama in a host of litigation in federal courts. He is admitted to practice before every circuit court of appeals in our nation, as well as the Supreme Court where he has filed more than 100 briefs and argued three cases. His legal acumen is unparalleled, and I have every confidence he will serve the Northern District exceptionally. I\u2019m proud to see a fellow native of the Wiregrass serve Alabama and our country on the federal bench. I\u2019m also grateful to have worked side-by-side with Senator Tuberville to see three exceptional nominees confirmed as federal judges and to President Trump for his support.\u201d\n\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-06T19:32:54Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://www.britt.senate.gov/news/press-releases/u-s-senator-katie-britt-votes-to-confirm-eddie-lacour-as-district-judge-for-northern-district-of-alabama/"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.7831268012523651, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
